In December 2025, the administration of US President Donald Trump published a national security strategy detailing plans for renewed interventions across the Western Hemisphere. The document highlights the objective of collaborating with regional governments to combat "narcoterrorists, cartels, and other transnational criminal organizations," while also aiming to ensure continued American access to the continent. [Le Monde] characterized these actions as the United States imposing its "tutelage" on parts of Latin America, noting that the announcement was consistent with prior presidential statements.
