“Since assuming the presidency, Donald Trump has quickly put Latin America on notice. From threatening Mexico and Colombia with tariffs for not adequately dealing with illegal immigration in a way that satisfied the president, to Trump’s threats to take over the Panama Canal for China’s alleged influence over the waterway, U.S. foreign policy is shifting southward. Despite Trump’s aggressive posturing, it seems that tensions have cooled off for now.” (02/13/25)
