The Trump administration is poised to renew focus on the Western Hemisphere. In doing so, the US must seek sustainable, long-term economic agreements, joint security measures for the 21st century, and cultural exchanges to strengthen hemispheric relations: https://t.co/wTDA9d3WHv

[Joseph Ledford @JosephALedford]

The US neglects Latin America and the Caribbean at its peril. Heeding George Shultz’s advice that “foreign policy starts in your own neighborhood,” the US needs a proactive policy for regional engagement. It’s time to put the Americas First. My latest: https://t.co/kuQtQlH8hD

It was a great honor to review @David_M_Wight's brilliant book Oil Money for @HNet_Humanities! It uniquely shows how #petrodollars remade US-Middle East relations in the 1970s, with profound repercussions to this day.
