Marc Lamont Hill talks to professor Greg Grandin on how President Trump’s policies shape US influence in the Americas.
As part of his election pledge, President Donald Trump said he would launch the “largest deportation program in American history”. This move strained relations with Latin American countries.
Tensions further escalated when Trump proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, deepening the rift between the US and Latin America.

This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill talks to Pulitzer Prize-winning author and professor of History at Yale University, Greg Grandin.
