Majority of Latin Americans Endorsed Trump’s Intervention In Venezuela, Polls Show
AI Summary
Following the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro in early January 2026, polls revealed that a majority of Latin Americans in several countries, including Peru, Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, and Panama, endorsed the intervention. This support, despite historical resentment towards U.S. meddling, suggests a shift towards pragmatism due to widespread discontent with Maduro's authoritarian rule. While some, particularly in Mexico, criticized the action as American imperialism, overall regional leaders tempered their responses to avoid conflict with the U.S. government. The left's struggle to mobilize against Maduro's removal further softened divisions, indicating a temporary eclipse of traditional ideological loyalties in favor of removing a reviled leader.
