Washington shifts $52M to Latin America
American officials have reported that Washington will reallocate $52 million of foreign military aid from countries such as Slovakia, North Macedonia, Tunisia, and Iraq to Latin American countries like Panama, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. This move aims to support right-wing governments in the region, with a focus on combating drug trafficking and illegal immigration. It reflects a policy of concentrating support in the Western Hemisphere and reducing military spending by European and Middle Eastern countries, which the United States considers insufficiently committed. Additionally, this shift seeks to prevent U.S. adversaries, particularly China, from establishing a strategic foothold in Latin America.
