Unos nuevos “roaring twenties” entre norte y sur
La política exterior de EE. UU. bajo la égida de Trump nos lleva a unos nuevos roaring twenties, justamente en los años 20 del siglo XXI.
TL;DR
- The author previously predicted Trump would maintain minimal interest in Latin America during his second term, a prediction now acknowledged as incorrect.
- Trump's current administration shows significant activity in the Western Hemisphere, indicating a departure from isolationism and a return to "hard geopolitics" and "zones of influence."
- The article introduces the concept of a "Donroe Doctrine," a contemporary interpretation of the historical Monroe Doctrine, reflecting Trump's foreign policy towards the Americas.
- Trump's policy is characterized by actions that seem to benefit national interests but are often intertwined with personal and ideological motivations.
- Allied governments, such as Argentina under Javier Milei and El Salvador under Nayib Bukele, have received preferential treatment or assistance.
- Antagonistic relationships, like the one with Gustavo Petro of Colombia, are marked by disproportionate and seemingly personal reactions.
- The article suggests Trump's foreign policy in Latin America echoes the interventionism of the 1920s, even as he may be disengaging from European security matters.
- The "Donroe Doctrine" differs from the traditional Monroe Doctrine by often blurring the lines between US national interest and Trump's private interests.
