The Trump Doctrine: A Recipe for Chaos in Latin America In recent years, right wing leaders have taken power in several Latin American countries, often with implicit or explicit endorsement from US President Donald Trump.
These authoritarian figures include Abelardo de la Espriella in Colombia, Javier Milei in Argentina, Nasry Asfura in Honduras, Jose Antonio Kast in Chile, Daniel Noboa in Ecuador, Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, and Keiko Fujimori in Peru.
The US has a long history of propping up right wing dictators and paramilitary groups that have ravaged the continent with violence, repression, and environmental destruction.
