Trump's second term creates turmoil for Latin America despite regional economic gains
By
The Economist
Half-baked but well-meaning. A passing snack.
Summary
The article discusses how Donald Trump's second term has been particularly unsettling for Latin American countries. It highlights three major actions: trade disruption and soaring energy prices, kidnapping Venezuela's leader, sending gunboats to the Caribbean, and threatening to invade Cuba. Despite this, the additional context notes that nowhere in the developing world has done as well economically over the past year.
