This week, Latin Pulse focuses on Argentina's debt crisis. A federal judge in the U.S. is holding Argentina in contempt for failing to come up with a plan that satisfies all of its creditors from a default in 2001. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled it would not review the case, thus upholding the lower court decisions on the bond repayments. That decision triggered a second default. This case holds implications not only for Argentina's economic future, but for the position of financial outlets in New York. This week's news segment covers the victory claims of President Evo Morales in Bolivia.
The program includes in-depth interviews with:
Peter Schechter of the Adrienne Arsht Latin American Center of the Atlantic Council; and
Leslie Armijo of Portland State University.
