Latin America's distrust of the United States is rooted in historical U.S. actions during the Cold War, supporting dictatorships in the region.
Latin America's distrust and lack of respect towards the United States stems from historical events related to the Cold War era and U.S. foreign policy in the region. During the Cold War, the U.S. supported anti-communist dictatorships under the 'Our Dictator' philosophy to counter Soviet influence, often leading to corrupt and oppressive regimes in Latin America. This support for dictatorships, coupled with U.S. interventions against Latin American leaders, fueled resentment and a perception of U.S. interference in the region's affairs.
