In a recent opinion piece for the Mexican newspaper El Universal, columnist Sabina Berman turns her attention to what she frames as a broader political strategy connected to the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement in the United States, one she argues is aimed at extending influence throughout Latin America.
Berman’s column, part of her regular series, invites readers to consider how political currents north of the border might be shaping developments across the region. While the piece is presented as an opinion piece rather than an investigative report, it reflects ongoing debates in Latin American media about the reach of US political movements beyond domestic borders and how governments and voters in the region might respond.
For readers unfamiliar with the term, MAGA refers to the political movement associated with former President Donald Trump, which has increasingly positioned itself on issues affecting US relations with its southern neighbors, from trade and immigration to security cooperation.
Because this is a column offering the author’s perspective and analysis, the specifics of the argument, evidence, and conclusions are best explored directly in Berman’s own words.
We invite you to read the full original column at El Universal for Sabina Berman’s complete analysis and reasoning.
