Trump Flagrantly Violates The OAS Charter

Trump's second administration is only a few days old, but within that brief period of time, Trump has engaged in broad-ranging aggressions against Latin American states.

Trump has used threats of massive tariffs to deport hundreds of migrants to Mexico, Colombia and other Latin American states. With no evidence that Cuba sponsors terrorism, he has put Cuba back on the U.S. list of state-sponsors of terrorism. Trump has also designated drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, but Trump's most provocative move could well be his threat to seize the Panama Canal.

In effect, Trump has launched a frontal assault on the Charter of the Organization of American States (OAS), which declares that "No State may use or encourage the use of coercive measures of an economic or political character in order to force the sovereign will of another State and obtain from it advantages of any kind."

On January 30, 2025, Dimitri Lascaris discussed these developments with José Luis Granados Ceja. José Luis is a journalist and political analyst based in Mexico City. He's a staff writer with Venezuela Analysis, covering regional and international issues, and writes a monthly opinion column for the Mexico Solidarity Project. José Luis is also the co-host of the Soberanía podcast.
