The Luncheon’s first speaker was Tom Gales, Caterpillar Latin America’s Vice President. The presentation gave a macro economic and geopolitical overview of the region as related to industrial machinery. The conversation pointed at the challenges and opportunities that the region presents with Miami as the traditional hub for North/South trade and developing East/West trade flows from Asia and Europe. The topics of free trade and political leadership to foster it were discussed in lively debate.
General James T. Hill, US Army retired Four Star and President of the JT Hill Group, presented his views on the region’s geo-political-military-economic recent past, present and future. General Hill presented and shared with the audience his views as a task force member of the Council on Foreign Relations that published “US-Latin America Relations: A New Direction for a New Reality.” The audience responded with questions and insights regarding the region’s future, the panorama of an Americas free trade continent and the roadmap to achieve it.
