In Angela Diffley’s large‑ranging interview with Daniel Landsberg‑Rodriguez, the founding companion at Aurora Macro Methods frames the Trump administration’s strategy in Latin America as a hybrid of nineteenth‑century coercive diplomacy mixed with a novel technique of selective alignment. The US now seems to favour governments whose management fashion resonates with Washington’s populist, anti‑institutional tone. He argues that some international locations in Latin America are responding to a contest of affinity: the extra Trump‑fashion you might be, the extra privileged your remedy. The shift is having main implications for international locations similar to Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador and Venezuela.
