"He sees himself almost as imperial in his role in the White House, and he likes it when the world dances to his tune especially in the Western Hemisphere. And it must be emphasized that these are his interests, not those of traditional US foreign policy."
"The military operations off the coast of Venezuela, the well over $20 billion that went to Argentinian President (Javier) Milei to save his election, the intimidation of the Colombian head of state, the election recommendation in Honduras, with threatening postures,"
