Donald Trump’s alleged 2025 return sparks claims of aggression in Latin America

In a commentary dated January 2025, it is claimed that former U.S. President Donald Trump returned to the White House and immediately initiated a series of measures aimed at Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and other neighboring states. The article cites a large naval deployment, threats toward Mexico, Canada and Greenland, and a purported occupation of the Panama Canal as part of these actions.

The piece references the 2014 CELAC summit in Havana, where 33 heads of state declared Latin America and the Caribbean a “zone of peace” with commitments to resolve disputes through dialogue, to refrain from using force, and to respect each nation’s sovereignty. It alleges that Trump’s alleged moves, including the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, violate those commitments, the United Nations Charter and the Organization of American States’ declarations on non‑intervention.
