Marc Lamont Hill discusses with Professor Greg Grandin how President Trump's policies have affected US influence in Latin America. Highlighting Trump's pledge for extensive deportations, the conversation reveals the strain this has placed on relationships with Latin American nations. Moreover, his proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America underscores the deep cultural rift. Grandin provides historical context on America's involvement in the region, indicating that current tensions are rooted in a legacy of interference and lack of respect for sovereignty.
"Trump's proposed largest deportation program created a significant rift with Latin American countries, showcasing the strain in US-Latin America relations that has reached alarming new lows."
"The suggestion to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America exemplifies the deepening tensions and lack of cultural respect that continues to shape US relations with its southern neighbors."
