Geen son cambios extremos, pero la politika estadounidense hacia Latin America is changing substantially. It was dismantled the theory of the second and worst theory – the first was the Bush hatred of Iraq, Iran and Syria – which Trump planted with Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua. The next week it is possible that it will be announced that the governor of La Habana will be excluded from the list of victims of terrorism. According to the Temporal Protection Statement (TPS)’n 320,000 Venezuelan exiles. The media for migrants entering the border with Mexico are constantly being revised. Behind Trump’s plans to invade Venezuela or the rhetoric of his suspects John Bolton and Elliot Abrams. Now is Juan Sebastián González, born in Colombia, the National Security Assessor for the Occidental Hemisphere, who maintains the new agenda for the continent and has direct access to the Biden area.

The President himself is a good connoisseur of the region. During the eight years that were held alongside Barack Obama, Biden visited 16 times Latin America adding this number to any other President or Vice President. If they hold their votes before the Senate vote, they can see that they have been dealt with a moderate with conservative tendencies when making economic agreements and some more liberal when we are on the humanitarian ground (migration).

México signs the mayor of Washington. Y no viene solo. It is closely linked to Central America. From these provinces the last years of migration and the Biden Administration created that it had an integrated policy for all these conglomerates of countries. It is therefore present at the Congress a migration reform centered on the motives of Central American emigration, with an investment plan of 4,000 million dollars in the next four years to dynamize the economy of the region and dethrone the eviction of its citizens. Also promising to “humanize” the process of joining the United States, three years of ironclad manhood on Trump’s part. It is clear that this “voluntary” will require time and in no way will it be translated into a policy of “open ports”.

In a “virtual visit” to Mexico, the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, launched a clear statement on the issues of poverty and misery in Central America: “Someone who is thinking of making this his journey is: nee lo haga. We are working to complete new restricted migration forms and our frontline security measures. The frontier is closed for immigration irregular ”. But the Mexican lad’s pressure is enormous and plant, precisely, a serious dilemma of human rights. In the last weeks of the week if the number of minor migrants not accompanied by detainees on the front is tripled. The February high rises in the 2019 media, and will be the highest for this month in 15 years, according to Reuters.

“Like the president of the migrants, and so many people who want to go to the United States”, said Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador about Biden the next morning a virtual meeting with his homologue on March 1. “We have to work hard to get the flu, because this help can not be obtained from a day for another”. It is clear that the bands that organized the crucifixion of the undocumented in Spain and were showing “levels of sophistication without precedents”, agreed with a high-ranking Mexican official. Since the same day as Biden, there has been an increase in the activities of the “coyotes”, the frontiers of each frontier recovery. There are between 3,000 and 7,000 dollars per person in Central America. If they are South American or Asian, the amount can go up to $ 20,000.

On his last day at Casa Blanca, January 19, Trump signed an order to postpone Venezuelan deportations for 18 months. As if the maintenance in an administrative limbo and not the work permit. With Tiden de Biden, can legally reside without restricted mayors hasta that cumplan with the rules to access the famous Green Card. With this policy too, the strategy of economic sanctions to oblige Nicolás Maduro to convene free elections will be reviewed. ‘It’s not working. We will meet the regime and the markets will adapt to the sanctions of the petroleum and we will be able to follow this without knowing any time. Geen hooi na die levantar esas sanciones nie, pero sí un reconocimiento de que the unilateral multitudes did not work to force the election celebrations and the previous Administration to fail to coordinate with Europe and with allies respecting Latin America, ”said a spokesman for the State Department to a group of journalists in Washington.

This song, Biden “will follow with the precise pressure that Maduro sees in the month and then the decision to convene elections. One such time, we will work with the international community to see what sanctions can be levied, ”the spokesman said. A change of gatekeeper for no change. A different from the European Union, United States sigue reconquiendo ‘n Juan Guaidó como presidente encargado de Venezuela, whereas the National Assembly, which embodies its constitutional legitimacy, is dominated by the chavismo through the December elections.

This is the approximation that Washington will tend to Cuba. On the next day, it was announced that Borra would be on the island of the list of patronizing countries of terrorism, which compares with Syria, North Korea and Iran, and that there is a personal advertisement with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, and the ex Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos. For the rest, en La Habana tendrán que seguir esperando. In Washington no ten apuro to regress to the pursuit of the “diplomacy of baseball” which was planted by Barack Obama. Although it is possible that Biden rescinded the entry into force of Title III of Ley Helms-Burton, which allowed the demands of international citizens against international companies to use confiscated property by the caste regime during the revolution. This standard has been suspended by all presidents of the United States since 1996 and Trump decided to take office in 2019.

For the rest of the continent Habra “Business as usual”. Nothing will change drastically. But tampoco will be “the olvido” that Trump. Washington’s preoccupation is centered on China’s expansion in the region. For example, Ecuador sells all its production of the Asian giant petroleum. The agenda for Brazil is important, because of the weight of these countries in South America and as emerging power, although it is reflected. With Colombia, it will follow the peace process. Y with Argentina everything is central to the economic question and negotiations with international financial institutions.

Here is the Vice-Rector of the Torcuato Di Tella University, Juan Gabriel Tokatlian: “Joe Biden is, after John Kennedy, the second Catholic President to hold the United States. Admira al Papa Francisco en kyk na “el timón moral del mundo”. Cabe records that the Pope, in his dialogues with distant Jefes de Estado, solicited the support for the negotiation between the Argentine governor and the private accreditors and no imaginable series of discreet contact in the same way as between Francisco and Biden and an eventual agreement with el Fondo. Finally, if the position that Argentina lives up to the message of the IMF is solid and unsustainable, there is no reason why Washington should have the condition or the right, maximum, if there is a co- (ir) responsibility in the way of debt af 2018-2019 entre el gobierno de Mauricio Macri y el Fondo ”.

Y, for the last time, there was a pandemic. In the State Department hooi preoccupation with china and russia in matter. It is also a matter of course that a foreigner emigrates from Latin America to the frontier of a sanitary crisis without precedent. “United States of America considers Latin America as an important commercial society, and a health crisis in the near future. you can take more people to search north in the north”, Explains Harold Trinkunas, of Stanford University. Peru the production of vacancies is escalated to all and the humanitarian aid has not only resolved the coronavirus crisis in its own territory.
