What if foreign policy didn’t hide behind spies, coups, or covert operations, but came wrapped in a MAGA cap? Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, all bear witness to a bold new U.S. strategy. Javier Milei has visited Trump four times in ten months, nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize, and received a $20 billion lifeline. Jair Bolsonaro, though barred from running, still gets Trump’s open endorsement, while Venezuela’s María Corina Machado becomes a focal point for sanctions, international praise, and even military pressure at sea.Trump’s playbook is clear: public praise, implicit threats, and ideological signaling replace covert meddling. The rhetoric is sharp, leftist opponents are framed as dangerous, conservative allies celebrated, and entire elections subtly influenced from Washington.
