What role did the Trump administration play in altering the political landscape of Latin America regarding foreign aid?
In 2025, the Trump administration moved to gut the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) by terminating thousands of foreign aid awards and transferring the remaining assistance to tighter State Department control. This move reduced the network of grants that had previously financed NGOs and civil society groups in Latin America, which conservatives had accused of disproportionately empowering progressive organizations.
