New York Times: “The region’s three largest nations — Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, all led by leftists — criticized the American seizure of President Nicolás Maduro with varying degrees of outrage and diplomacy.”
“A growing roster of right-wing countries, including Argentina, El Salvador and Ecuador, cheered on President Trump.”
“And a collection of smaller nations, like Guatemala and Peru, kept their heads down so Washington might not notice.”
“The divergent reactions show how an increasingly aggressive Trump administration is scrambling the politics of Latin America. While their public responses may be different, they all appear to share a common goal in a new era of U.S. interventionism: self-preservation.”
