From the fuel blockade on Cuba and the kidnapping of Maduro in Venezuela to using the pretext of drug cartels to attack Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum, Trump is waging offensive after offensive across Latin America. The goal? To cut the region’s economic ties to China and undermine its sovereignty and development.

Stephanie Weatherbee Brito, co-coordinator of the International Peoples Assembly, joins Amanda Yee for an in-depth analysis of the geopolitical battleground in Latin America. She breaks down Trump’s assaults across Latin America, the high stakes elections this year in Peru, Colombia, and Brazil, the grassroots cooperation between Brazil’s Landless Workers Movement (MST) and Chinese agricultural programs. 👉 Support movement-grounded, independent journalism.
