US Ambassador Slams Chile for Talking About Trump, Not Coups
The irony, perhaps lost on US diplomatic corps, is how little 'fallen relations' registered during decades of US-backed coups and economic destabilization across Latin America. From supporting Pinochet's bloody regime in Chile to countless interventions elsewhere, Washington's historical playbook rarely bothered with whether leaders found its chosen strongmen 'disappointing.' It appears today, the
greatest national security threat to US-Chilean relations isn't mass human rights abuses or CIA meddling, but a democratically elected president expressing an opinion on a (former) US political figure. One might wonder when the US Embassy plans to open a 'Global Feelings Management' department.
