Trump Policies Expected to Impact Latin America's Tech Sector

The unpredictability surrounding Donald Trump's second term poses significant challenges for Latin America's technology and software services export sector, particularly due to potential tariffs and a renewed push for protectionism. Executives like Miguel Garcia Antonio from Softtek express concerns over the possible relocation of operations by US clients and restrictions on the flow of software professionals. Trump's aggressive protectionist stance, evident at the recent World Economic Forum, clashes with his pro-growth claims, threatening to increase costs for American consumers and businesses. Moreover, his focus on reshaping trade relationships could redefine US-Latin America ties, potentially benefiting some countries while making others vulnerable to tariff implications. As Latin American economies adapt to these new dynamics, they may find opportunities in integrating into supply chains and attracting US investments. Overall, Trump's policies are likely to create a complex landscape for Latin American exports and investments.
