  • Trump is using a revision of the Monroe Doctrine to curb China's expansion in America.
  • Trump's plan involves backing allied governments and pressuring ideological rivals economically and militarily.
  • Under the guise of hemispheric security and drug war, Trump has staged a show of force in the Caribbean.
  • Pedro Sanchez is positioning Spain as a global left-wing leader in opposition to Trump.
  • This manifests in Spain's rapprochement with Mexico and the search for a narrative opposed to the US hegemony.

Conclusion: There is a growing tension between Spain and the US, and a strategic rivalry is taking place in Latin America between the US and China.
