Marco Rubio: Trump's "Viceroy" is reaching his limits in South America
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's first visit to the USA's new allies in South America reveals that Colombia, Ecuador and Peru do not entirely follow Washington's line.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently visited Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru to demonstrate Washington's close relationship with conservative governments in the region. However, the visit showed that these countries are not willing to unconditionally follow US policies, particularly regarding military cooperation and relations with China.
While all three countries have agreed to join the "Shield of the Americas", a security and defense alliance founded by Trump in March, details of military cooperation are still unclear. The countries, including Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, have significant economic ties with China and do not intend to limit their trade and investment relationships with Beijing.
