López Obrador said the United States should spend some of the money sent to Ukraine on economic development in Latin America.
“They (the U.S.) don’t do anything,” he said. “It’s more, a lot more, what they authorize for the war in Ukraine than what they give to help with poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean.”
He called for a U.S. program “to remove blockades and stop harassing independent and free countries, an integrated plan for cooperation so the Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans and Ecuadorans, Guatemalans and Hondurans wouldn’t be forced to emigrate.”
If Latin America was being invaded by Russia then that is where the US would be spending the money. So I don’t think he actually wants what he is asking for.
Considering how many times Latin America has been invaded by the US, I seriously doubt they would send aid instead on joining on the action against them.
Please review why money was spent there to invade, and then get back to us. (Hint: It was because someone else threatened the US “interests” (yes, the quotes are because most of those interests were profits for private corp.s but still))
