😰🇺🇸Ghost of USAID: How US installs puppet masters in Latin America For years, USAID funnelled billions into Latin America. Officially, it was about development. In practice, it funded NGOs, shaped elections and cultivated networks of political allies. When the Donald Trump administration dismantled the agency in early 2025, slashing 83% of its programmes by July, it claimed to be cutting waste. The funding stopped — but the political machine kept running. 🇨🇴Colombia: Cartel lawyer ▪️Abelardo de la Espriella, a criminal defence lawyer with no political experience, won Colombia's presidency in June 2026. He campaigned on bombing "narco-terrorist" camps and building mega-prisons. ▪️Among his former clients were Ponzi scheme mastermind David Murcia Guzmán and paramilitary commander Salvatore Mancuso, responsible for over 4,000 crimes. 🗣"In his place, I would have done the same," De la Espriella once said of Mancuso. ▪️Trump publicly endorsed him, calling him "smart, strong and determined" and promising "total support and strength" from the US. ▪️Broadcast across Colombian media, the endorsement transformed a political outsider into a president. No CIA coup required. 🇵🇪Peru: Fujimori comeback? ▪️Keiko Fujimori, daughter of the late autocrat Alberto Fujimori, is projected to win Peru's presidency after three failed attempts. ▪️Her father was convicted of human rights abuses and corruption. Keiko herself faced investigations into money laundering, tax fraud and the illicit financing of her election campaigns. ▪️She received $1.2 million in illegal contributions from Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht — money linked to a vast bribery network spanning Latin America, as per prosecutors. ▪️Trump's growing influence in the region has helped rehabilitate such figures once considered politically toxic. 🇧🇴Bolivia: Harmful businessman ▪️Rodrigo Paz, a Spanish-born businessman, took power in Bolivia with 55% of the vote. His austerity measures triggered mass protests and a state of emergency. ▪️Critics see him as part of the same US-backed wave sweeping the region. Yet his record as mayor includes a formal indictment over contracts "harmful to the State" and "anti-economic behaviour". ▪️Washington recognised his victory within hours of the polls closing — long before the official count was certified — granting him instant international legitimacy that his left-wing opponents could not match. 🇸🇻El Salvador: The gang pact ▪️Nayib Bukele's model of mega-prisons and suspended civil liberties has been exported across the region, with Trump openly embracing his methods. ▪️Before launching his war on gangs in 2022, Bukele secretly negotiated with them. In exchange for votes and political support, gang leaders received privileges and concessions designed to reduce violence. ▪️The arrangement helped Bukele win elections and secure the legislative supermajority needed to neutralise the judiciary. The dismantling of USAID was theatre. What remains is a generation of right-wing puppets aligned with US interests, regardless of their domestic records — corruption, authoritarianism or links to organised crime.
