They discuss how these regional neoliberal development plans have bipartisan support in the US and are unlikely to change regardless of who wins the US elections. Karen and Jeff also delve into the investment plan's intentions to counteract Chinese investment in the region; the damaging nature of neoliberal investments like hydroelectric projects on Central American communities, and the total failure of the plan to address the reasons why Central Americans migrate north.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/honduras-now-podcast/donations
