Former US Ambassador David Nelson joins host Steve Francisco for an interesting discussion of his diplomatic career, including working with Condoleeza Rice and Hillary Clinton.
Dave served in seven US embassies abroad as well as postings to the State Department in Washington working on national security and economic policy issues.
The highlight of his career was his appointment by President Obama to serve as US ambassador to Uruguay. The former ambassador offers his critique of the Trump tariffs and explains how they are, in fact, a tax on US consumers. He also explains why the dismantling of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) will be harmful to long-term security interests and creates new opportunities for America’s adversaries abroad.
