Historian Peter Kuznick argues that the United States has historically exploited and destabilized Latin America through corporate control (like United Fruit) and military interventions, including supporting death squads during the Reagan administration in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, with similar patterns continuing under the Trump administration through threats to countries like Cuba, Mexico, Panama, and Colombia.

"No wonder those people hate us"Added:
No wonder those people hate us. We also, through United Fruit and other companies, controlled much of the economy. And we impoverished the whole continent. We have the right to intervene anywhere we want, and we've done it repeatedly over and over again.
Uh we saw what happened under Reagan in the 1980s in Guatemala, in El Salvador, in Nicaragua. US supporting death squads, US massacring, raping, st- robbing the people in those countries.
And it continues today under Trump. Uh you mentioned the kidnapping of Maduro, but the threats that Trump has made to Cuba, to Mexico, to Panama, to Colombia, you know, throughout the region.
