#139: Chile Shifts Right, Venezuela Faces a Blockade, and Billions Diverted to Immigration

Latin American Educational Opportunities

About

We begin in Chile, where José Antonio Kast’s election marks a historic rightward shift fueled by concerns over crime, immigration, and the economy. Then, we break down President Trump’s announcement of a blockade on certain Venezuelan oil tankers and what it could mean for the region. Finally, we examine a new report revealing that billions in Pentagon funds have been redirected to immigration enforcement, raising questions about military readiness and priorities in the U.S. 

Three stories, one theme: when fear drives policy, the consequences ripple far beyond borders.
