Conservative analysis of Latin America’s political, economic, and security developments, including China’s expanding footprint, socialist movements, and threats to U.S. strategic interests in the region
Brazil rare earths hold 23% of global reserves — second only to China. Lula told Trump: all investment welcome, but processing stays on Brazilian soil. A $2.8B US acquisition of Serra Verde is on the table. If America loses this deal, China moves in. The window is closing fast.
USMCA Mexico talks launch today as the US schedules three bilateral negotiating rounds with Mexico — while Canada is explicitly excluded. Fentanyl down 49%, deficit at $196.9B, and China using Mexico as a backdoor. Carney chose Europe. Mexico chose the table. The hemisphere is choosing sides.
Peru election 2026 pits conservative Keiko Fujimori against leftist Roberto Sánchez in a June 7 runoff. Congressman Alejandro Cavero warns of grave electoral irregularities, a Chavismo threat, and why a new bicameral Congress makes this vote the most consequential in a generation.
The new Bolivian diplomatic crisis exposes Marxist interference in South America. Colombia's socialist president Gustavo Petro incited chaos in La Paz, forcing the expulsion of his ambassador. This aggressive subversion of a sovereign U.S. partner demands a strong America First response to block China and Russia from the region.
President Trump's aggressive Cuba strategy signals a massive shift in U.S. foreign policy. With Marco Rubio’s expertise and a DOJ indictment of Raúl Castro for the 1996 murders of Americans, the administration is demanding accountability. As a U.S. aircraft carrier patrols nearby, adversaries face real deterrence in our backyard.
The Bolivian socialist crisis reveals the true face of radical left-wing politics in South America. Former president Evo Morales is using armed militias to block highways and starve cities to escape human trafficking charges.

U.S. intelligence confirms the Cuba drone threat is real. Cuba has stockpiled 300+ attack drones supplied by Russia and Iran, targeting Guantanamo Bay and Key West. CIA Director Ratcliffe flew to Havana demanding regime change. The DOJ is preparing to indict Raúl Castro. The Cuba-Russia-Iran axis operates 90 miles from American soil.
A retired Mexican Army general now sits in a U.S. federal prison — the same block as El Mayo and Maduro. The Sinaloa cartel crackdown is climbing fast. CIA operations, $100,000 monthly bribes, and ten indicted Mexican officials tell one story: Trump is doing what Biden never did. Maximum pressure produces results.
Hope for Cuba is growing as the Trump administration escalates pressure on Havana. CIA Director Ratcliffe visited Cuba, Rubio offered $100M in aid the regime refused, and the DOJ is reportedly pushing to indict Raúl Castro. Are we witnessing the beginning of the end of 67 years of communist rule?
Bolivia issued an Evo Morales arrest warrant after the socialist ex-president skipped his own child trafficking trial. Morales allegedly abused a 15-year-old girl while in power, fathered her child, and bought her family's silence with political favors. His own ally called it "an open secret." Now he's hiding — and running out of time.
