Donald Trump is hosting the "Shield of the Americas" summit in Miami on Saturday, inviting right-wing leaders from at least ten Latin American countries. The summit aims to promote "freedom, security, and prosperity" in the region. This event is part of Trump's broader strategy, dubbed the "Don-roe Doctrine," to counter China's influence and assert U.S. dominance through economic and military pressure. His actions have included interventions in multiple countries, such as airstrikes, meddling in judicial systems, threats of military intervention, and financial bailouts. The guest list excludes leftist leaders from major Latin American economies like Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, highlighting the ideological alignment of the invitees.
