[The nomination of Mauricio Claver-Carone to the presidency of the Inter-American Development Bank] was quite a surprise and certainly breaks with a long-standing norm and tradition. I think that he’s in a reasonably strong position to be the next president of the IDB. I don’t see many governments that are prepared to defy the United States, the Trump administration, and take a risk of repercussions.
