Brazil is the “strongest test” for the Dunrow Doctrine, according to the New York Times Brazil

According to the newspaper, Trump has taken many measures since the beginning of the year to change the foreign policy of the United States. According to the tool, greater US control over Latin America brings benefits such as abundant natural resources, strategic security locations, and lucrative markets.

So, according to the New York Times, Trump rewarded leaders who conformed to his demandsSuch as Argentina’s President Javier Miley, who in October received a $20 billion rescue package, and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, who saw the United States lift its travel warning after accepting deported Venezuelans to his country.

As for the leftist countries in Latin America, the newspaper indicates that Trump seeks to punish those who do not cooperate with his actions. This is the case of Venezuela, which has been receiving hostile actions from the US armed forces since September, and Colombia, where the country’s president, Gustavo Petro, was accused of being a drug trafficker, after criticizing Trump over the attacks on boats carried out by the United States.

But according to the newspaper, Brazil is considered “the most difficult test of Trump’s control.” The American newspaper reported that, “In July, Trump imposed 50% tariffs and sanctions on the country, in an attempt to prevent the criminal case filed by the Brazilian government against former President Jair Bolsonaro, a Trump ally.”

However, Bolsonaro ended up being sentenced to 27 years in prison for the attempted coup, and the popularity of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who criticized Trump’s decision to impose taxes on the country, rose. The New York Times says: “Weeks after (Bolsonaro’s conviction), Trump suddenly changed his position. He met with Lula, said he liked him, and now the two countries are negotiating to end the tariffs.”
