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.”

The US’s actions against Cuba are inhumane, illegal, and immoral. President Biden should follow Obama’s footsteps and normalize relations with Cuba.
End the blockade. Remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. Close Guantánamo Bay.
¡Cuba sí, bloqueo no!
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.
Well, spending money in South America won’t line the pockets of defense contractors like getting rid of old military equipment.
Mexico should know better. This is just how the US treats allies that aren’t geopolitically significant like Canada and Mexico.
