  "account": "The Donald Trump administration can be accused of many things, but not of hiding its true intentions in Latin America, which involve controlling the region. The tentacles of the United States in what it has traditionally considered its backyard extend in various ways, from more or less puppet governments like Venezuela under Delcy Rodríguez, to very close political alliances like Argentina under Javier Milei, and military operations to impose its interests.",
  "summary": "Hegseth announces he does not rule out a military option in Havana and proposes operations on Colombian soil. Trump's strategy to control the region clashes with Mexico's resistance and Central America's submissiveness.",
