The article from El Universo outlines a significant change in the diplomatic relations between the United States and Latin America, noting that this transformation has not been seen since the height of the Cold War. It emphasizes a shift from multilateral cooperation to a focus on strategic resource control, border security, and ideological loyalties under the current U.S. administration. The author argues that the current political climate in the region is characterized by polarization and an absence of nuanced positions, effectively turning Latin America into a chessboard for U.S. interests.

In this context, Argentina emerges as the most pivotal player for the United States, receiving a remarkable financial support package of 20 billion dollars. The close alignment between the U.S. and Argentine leadership illustrates the country's transition from previous ambivalence to becoming a steadfast ally. This realignment signifies a broader strategic approach by the U.S. towards controlling influence in the region, marking a departure from previous multilateral diplomatic practices.

The implications of this shift are profound, not only for Argentina but for all countries in Latin America as they navigate their relationships with the U.S. The article suggests that, in this new geopolitical reality, countries will increasingly be required to declare their allegiances, leading to potential divisions within the continent as they react to U.S. policies that prioritize ideological conformity over cooperative diplomacy.
