Danny and Derek welcome back to the program AP Mexico desk Alexander Aviña, associate professor of Latin American history in the School of Historical, Philosophical, and Religious Studies at Arizona State University, this time to reflect on Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum several months into her term. They talk about how she has both continued and diverged from the work begun by her Morena predecessor Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the current organization of the Mexican political economy and how that shapes the challenges she faces, her ambitious “Plan México” to reduce poverty and inequality, her goals of state-led industrial policy focusing on renewables and green tech, how she is contending with the Mexican elite, her relationship with other Latin American countries, and the dynamic between her and (an apparently enthralled) Donald Trump.
