Dear Members, Partners, and Friends,
Since his inauguration on January 20, 2025, President Trump has taken several measures impacting Latin America. In particular, he surprised all his trading partners by implementing a highly protectionist trade policy for national security purposes with a 10% tariff on all imports. Although suspended until early July, additional tariffs by partners up to 49% shook the financial markets and triggered great uncertainty. China, for its part, saw tariffs of over 140% imposed.
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us for our next
