SUA taie din fondurile militare pentru Europa și le mută în America Latină

The U.S. State Department has officially informed Congress about redirecting $52 million in military funding from Europe and the Middle East to Latin American countries like Panama, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. This shift reflects a significant change in U.S. foreign policy, focusing on regional priorities. The funds aim to combat narco-terrorism, secure the Panama Canal, and counter China's influence in the region. Traditional partners like Slovakia, North Macedonia, Tunisia, and Iraq will see a reduction in their military assistance. Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently visited these Latin American nations to promise additional support, emphasizing the administration's commitment to addressing drug trafficking and illegal immigration. This move aligns with a broader strategy to renew the Monroe Doctrine, asserting U.S. dominance in the Americas.
