Trump Frees Drug Trafficker; US Meddles In Honduras’ Elections

December 5, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
Donald Trump has pardoned and freed from prison one of the world’s worst drug dealers, the former dictator of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of trafficking more than 400 tons of cocaine and machine guns into the United States. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has been openly meddling in Honduras’ 2025 election. Honduran electoral officials have revealed evidence of massive fraud, aimed at putting a right-wing US-backed candidate in power. The US government sponsored a military coup against Honduras’ democratically elected left-wing president in 2009.

Milei Launches ‘Isaac Accords’ To Expand Israeli Influence

November 30, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Argentinian President Javier Milei formally launched the Isaac Accords on 29 November, a new initiative aimed at strengthening political, economic, and cultural cooperation between Israel and Latin America. Milei announced the initiative following a meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, who visited Buenos Aires on Saturday as part of a regional diplomatic tour. The Isaac Accords are being promoted in partnership with Washington and are modeled after the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab countries, including the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco.

It’s Not Only About Venezuela: Trump Intends A Wider Domino Effect

November 26, 2025 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , ,
It’s increasingly obvious that the US military threats against Venezuela have a wider agenda. Their game plan is regime change, but not only in Venezuela. This is the objective – on a longer timescale in some cases – across several of the countries in the Caribbean Basin, aiming to cleanse the region of governments deemed undesirable to Washington. As international relations professor at the University of Chicago, John Mearsheimer reminds us, the US “does not tolerate left-leaning governments…and as soon as they see a government that is considered to be left-of-center they move to replace that government.”

The Masses Build And Sustain A Zone Of Peace Through Unity Of Struggles

November 19, 2025 Clau O'Brien Moscoso, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
On November 8-9, 2025, the social component of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) met in Santa Marta, Colombia, as the CELAC-EU Summit took place on November 9-10. The purpose of the CELAC-EU Summit was to enhance strategic cooperation between Latin America and the Caribbean and the European Union in a time of heightened United States militarism targeting the Bolivarian peoples of Venezuela and now Colombia. A major theme of the summit was the unique geostrategic and historic role that Latin America and the Caribbean as a region have in the creation and strengthening of a multipolar world free of the dictates of the over 200-year-old Monroe Doctrine.

Ecuador Votes To Reject Foreign Military Bases

November 18, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
The Donald Trump administration is trying to expand the presence of the US military across Latin America, in an attempt to forcibly impose Washington’s hegemony in the region. The people of Ecuador just delivered a major blow to Trump’s aggressive Latin America strategy. More than three-fifths of Ecuadorians voted to reject a change to their progressive constitution, which would have allowed the Pentagon to establish US military bases in their territory. Ecuador is currently governed by a right-wing president, Daniel Noboa, who is a key regional ally of Trump.

US Escalates Caribbean Destabilization With 20th Strike

November 16, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , ,
The US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced a new “lethal kinetic strike” against a small boat in the Caribbean, the 20th of its kind to date. Although the announcement was made on Friday, November 14, it reportedly occurred on November 10, four days earlier. These “strikes” have been labeled as extrajudicial execution by the United Nations, “At the direction of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization,” reads the statement accompanying the video of the strike that the SOUTHCOM posted on social media.

Chaos: The Trump Doctrine For Latin America

November 14, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
The US, under Trump, is unapologetically an empire operating without pretense. International law is for losers. A newly minted War Department, deploying the most lethal killing machine in world history, need not hide behind the sham of promoting democracy. Recall that in 2023 Trump boasted: “When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over, we would have gotten all that oil.” As CEO of the capitalist bloc, Trump’s mission is not about to be restrained by respect for sovereignty. There is only one inviolate global sovereign; all others are subalterns. Venezuela – with our oil under its soil – is now in the crosshairs of the empire.

Welcoming The Reaffirmation Of Our Region As A Zone Of Peace

November 12, 2025 Black Alliance for Peace, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
The Social component of CELAC met over the last two days on November 8-9, 2025 in Santa Marta, Colombia with representation from social movements, mass based organizations and civil society coming together with the absolute clarity and necessity to make our region a Zone of Peace to combat and confront the US/NATO led aggressions in the Caribbean and Pacific against Venezuela, Colombia and the region at large.  We had participants of the Popular Steering Committee for a Zone of Peace in Our Americas (PSC) in these meetings and participation at all levels amplifying the call from the masses to unify our struggles against our common enemy - the US/EU/NATO Axis of Domination.

CELAC-EU Declaration Plagued By Objections From US Allies

November 11, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
On Sunday, the Fourth Summit between the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the European Union (EU) issued a joint declaration. The 52-paragraph document was signed by 32 of the 33 CELAC countries. Venezuela was the only country that decided not to sign it. At the end of the document, seven countries—Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago—presented formal objections to critical paragraphs. They distanced themselves from positions reaffirming the region as a Zone of Peace, condemning the genocide in Gaza, and demanding an end to the economic blockade against Cuba, among others. The declaration also includes paragraph number 14 regarding the Ukrainian conflict, which appears to respond more to the interests of the European Union than to those of the Latin American countries. It was not questioned by any of the signatories.

Third Social Summit Of Peoples Of Latin America And Caribbean Concludes

November 10, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , ,
The city of Santa Marta, Colombia, became the epicenter of social and political dialogue in the region this weekend with the Third Social Summit of the Peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean that concluded today with grassroots representatives from all over the continent. The event, which brought together more than 1,500 local delegates and featured more than 200 international delegates, opened nine thematic tables dedicated to political dialogue, adhering to the common agenda of the peoples, with a central focus on sovereignty and on condemnation of the interventionist stance of the United States in the region. The summit, which began Saturday, had the fundamental purpose of fostering discussion among civil society to address common challenges affecting nations, with special attention to critical issues such as migration and the need for deeper integration.

Caribbean Leaders Call For Unified Resistance To US Attacks

November 9, 2025 Michael Fox, Truthout. , , , , ,
The tiny Caribbean island nation of Barbados — with a population roughly the size of Anchorage, Alaska, or Lincoln, Nebraska — might not be the country one would first imagine taking the lead to stand up to U.S. military actions and ambitions in the region. But as the Trump administration continues to attack boats, first in the Caribbean Sea and now in the Pacific, leaders in Barbados have been vocal. “As a small state, we have invested tremendous time and energy and effort in establishing and maintaining our region as a zone of peace,” Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley said at a conference in late October.

The New US-Russia Clash In Latin America

November 7, 2025 Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , , , , , , ,
Pushback from Latin American leaders are putting a wrench in the works of Donald Trump’s imperial ambitions. The Summit of the Americas– the U.S.-backed conference of regional leaders– has had to be cancelled (or, officially, postponed until 2026) due to threats of a mass boycott of the event. Leading this revolt are Gustavo Petro of Colombia and Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, who both declared they would skip the event in protest of the U.S. treatment of Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua. With the summit promising to be a public relations disaster, the U.S. ordered it cancelled.

Chris Hedges Report: America Left Their Own To Die In The ’73 Chilean Coup

November 6, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
The meddling and infiltration of governments in Latin America by the United States is a huge chapter of its 20th century history. One of the most egregious and blatant examples of intervention was in Chile, where the democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende was overthrown by the CIA-backed military coup in 1973. The ensuing years saw violent repression of student activists, labor leaders, journalists, leftwing politicians and dissidents at the helm of a brutal military dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet. Among the victims of this ruthless crackdown were two American citizens, Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi.

VIPS Memo: What Wider War In Venezuela Would Bring

November 6, 2025 Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, Consortium News. , , , , ,
We are deeply concerned about where the United States seems to be headed in its Venezuela policy and urge you to demand that the Intelligence Community give you clear, unfiltered, “truth-to-power” analysis, as well as covert action options in Venezuela. Flying blind into an unprovoked war against a Latin American government, even one weakened by years of U.S. “maximum-pressure” sanctions, risks a conflagration that could draw Russia into the conflict and offers zero probability of establishing a legitimate, pro-U.S. successor government. We see a classic storm of politicization brewing in the Intelligence Community, to which we devoted our careers, as a result of blatant pressures that it give you the “right” answer – fabricating or exaggerating a pretext for direct military intervention in Venezuela.

The ‘Donroe Doctrine’: Trump’s Neocolonial Plan For Latin America

October 27, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
The US government has always meddled in Latin America’s internal affairs. This is far from new. The United States overthrew at least 41 governments in Latin America from 1898 to 1994, according to research by Columbia University historian John Coatsworth. In the past three decades, Washington has backed dozens more coups, coup attempts, regime-change operations, and “color revolutions” in the region. The US military has intervened in every single country in Latin America, according to data from the Congressional Research Service. (The only exception is French Guiana, which is a colony of France.) US imperialism has always been bipartisan in Washington, and has continued under both Republican and Democratic presidents.
