Trump's second term has witnessed increased US interference in Latin American affairs, putting him at odds with his ideological opponents on the left.

Days after his arrival at the White House and following several tough decisions and policies, several disagreements erupted between US President Donald Trump and Latin American leaders.

President-elect Donald Trump's recent remarks on Panama, Greenland, and Canada suggest that his view of American power is based on territorial expansion, a stark departure from prevailing diplomatic norms.

On April 5, Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa broke diplomatic norms and ordered seizure of former Ecuadorian VP Jorge Glas by force, throwing Ecuador’s relations with Mexico into a tailspin.

Delays to trade deals and a rift over the Ukraine war are the most high-profile rifts in EU relations with Latin America after eight years without a high-level meeting.
