The U.S. President Donald trump has intensified his attacks against the left wing regimes of Latin America as a part of the MAGA programme to weaken the Left in the region and bolster the far right forces which have been emboldened as a result of the coming of the Trump Regime for the second time.

Trump’s uncharitable rhetoric and less-than-civilised treatment of illegal immigrants are, at the very least, likely to fuel more anti-American sentiment in the region. This resentment towards the US may well manifest in building bridges with governments and ideologies that are inimical to US interests.

US president's remarks indicate his forthright approach to future policy; Trump insists he will regain control of Panama Canal, sends troops to Mexican border, but Marco Rubio’s eye will remain on wider region.
