Gloria Caminha is a PhD candidate in History at the Graduate Center. Her research focuses on U.S. foreign policy toward Brazil from the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, with a specific emphasis on energy issues. She teaches United States history and currently teaches U.S. policy in Latin America during the 19th and 20th centuries at John Jay College. I plan to use the contemporary conflict over the Panama Canal, between the US under Donal Trump’s administration, China and Panama to show how China has become a significant influence in Latin America posing a challenge and threat to US hegemony and interests in the region.
