In a day of hard-hitting announcements, former US President Donald Trump revealed plans to permanently suspend immigration from developing countries and intervene in Honduran politics. Meanwhile, tension in Latin America escalates with the installation of an American military radar near Venezuela and accusations of an attempted coup in Colombia. In Eastern Europe, the conflict in Ukraine takes on a darker tone, with reports that Russia is using drones specifically to hunt civilians.
Trump administration actions on foreign policy and immigration
US President Donald Trump initiated a series of impact measures. He canceled several executive orders signed by the previous administration with an automatic pen. Regarding immigration policy, the president declared that he will permanently suspend the entry of immigrants from “third world” countries. This stance is reinforced by a recent attack on the National Guard. In foreign policy, Trump conditioned aid to Honduras on the victory of a conservative candidate in the elections. The president also spoke by telephone with Nicolás Maduro, from Venezuela. Additionally, an exception granted by Trump allowed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate the purchase of more energy.
Tensions and political changes in Latin America
Latin American countries face instability and geopolitical tensions. In a speech, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro stated that 82% of the country’s citizens would be willing to fight against the USA. Tension in the region increases with the confirmation of the installation of a US military radar in Trinidad and Tobago, close to Venezuela. In Colombia, President Gustavo Petro accused the Superior Electoral Court of hatching a plan to overthrow his government. Meanwhile, in Nicaragua, President Daniel Ortega appointed new allies to the Supreme Court. The measure expands its control over the country’s institutions.
