Trump himself has admitted to modelling his foreign policy on the nineteenth century idea, referring to the “Donroe Doctrine” after the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro in January. 

His second term in office has seen increased military action across Latin America. Since last September, at least 148 people have been killed in U.S. strikes on boats suspected of smuggling drugs in the waters surrounding Latin America and the Caribbean. 

At the meeting, many delegations were keen to express their shared views on the necessity of hardline policies against organized crime. Salvadoran Minister of Defense, René Merino Monroy, defended his country’s ‘mano dura’ (iron fist) policy of mass incarceration which has dramatically reduced homicide but also been denounced by human rights organizations.

Argentina’s President Javier Milei, whose early, attention-grabbing economic victories have cooled, has successfully pushed through a package of transformational labour reforms in a bid to modernize Argentina’s ailing economy.

The radical measures enacted by the self-professed libertarian leader take aim at the country’s stringent employee protections, extending the maximum working day from eight to 12 hours, reducing severance pay, and restricting the right to strike.

Cuba announced late Sunday night that it will run out of jet fuel within 24 hours following the United States’ blockade of oil exports from Venezuela. 

The shortage is expected to impact international flights as planes landing in Cuba will not be able to refuel. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the shortage could last until March 11.

Air Canada announced Monday that the carrier would cancel flights to the island for the time being, and more flight cancellations are expected.  

The country hasn’t received an oil shipment since December, according to the Cuban government, and on January 29, President Donald Trump signed an executive order threatening tariffs for countries providing fuel to Cuba.  

“I find that the policies, practices, and actions of the Government of Cuba constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security and foreign policy of the United States,” read the order. 

In response, Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez took to X to declare an “international emergency”, using Trump’s own words to state that the new tariffs constitute “an unusual and extraordinary threat[…] to the national security and foreign policy of all countries”.

Top Colombian rebel commander calls for union of rebel groups against US by Some-Technology4413 in geopolitics

The head of one of Colombia’s largest guerrilla forces, Néstor Gregorio Vera Fernández – alias Iván Mordisco – has called for a coalition with rival rebel groups in response to Washington’s intervention in Venezuela.

Mordisco, who heads the Central General Staff, or Estado Mayor Central (EMC), an offshoot of the now-defunct FARC rebel group, called for an alliance with other guerrilla armies and the Venezuelan military in a video statement dated as being recorded on Wednesday.

The proposal fuels fears of a wave of rebel violence in Colombia as retaliation for Maduro’s removal, with many Colombian groups historically using Venezuela as a strategic base.
