In this episode of Wealth Wednesday, we break down major developments in Latin America, including the ongoing Cuba energy crisis, shifting global alliances, and how countries in South America are navigating economic and political pressure from the United States.


With the 2030 Agenda approaching its deadline, Latin American leaders are preparing to meet in Chile to discuss economic development, infrastructure, clean energy, and regional partnerships. At the same time, countries are facing difficult decisions around trade, investment, and geopolitical alignment.


We also dive into the worsening situation in Cuba, where fuel shortages, blackouts, and economic instability continue to impact millions. As countries like Mexico, Brazil, and 

Colombia adjust their positions, the region is being forced to reconsider its relationships with the United States and other global powers.


This episode explores:

  • The future of Latin America’s economic growth
  • The real impact of the Cuba energy crisis
  • U.S. influence in the region, including Donald Trump’s role in recent discussions
  • Whether Latin American countries should prioritize self-sufficiency or global partnerships
