1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: While there is a lot of uncertainty about the future

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: of Venezuela and the wake of the US strike, there

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: UMass Boston political science professor doctor Luis Jimenez says leaders

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: in Latin America will have to take threats from President Trump. Seriously.

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: Trump will threaten people all the time, Greenland for instance,

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: and you're with Europe, right, but also Mexico, like today

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: he was saying they have to do something about the cartels.

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: He's threatened taking over the Panama Canal, as you probably

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 2: have heard, etc.

10
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 3: Right, So all these sort.

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 4: Of which seem like idle threats, which seem like he's

12
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 4: just boasting. Who knows.

13
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: He says the move to capture Badua will likely be

14
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: seen as a threat to leadership in nations like Cuba

15
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: and even Mexico, But he's also worried about the broader

16
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: international implications of the move by the US.

17
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: That means, right, why doesn't China invade Taiwan.

18
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: Tomorrow or the next day? Right? Who's going to say anything,

19
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 2: Who's going to do anything? Probably not the US. And

20
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: the justification of the international order. The only reason why

21
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: the international can order can sustain itself is because people

22
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: stop themselves from doing things.
