00:00Marco, can I bring you into this discussion now? How do you look at the consequences here

00:04in short term, long term? The thing is, it's true that U.S. has no other power that can dispute in

00:13Latin America. But first of all, I think some of the reactions already started. So Brazil and

00:21Colombia were the most vocal against U.S. and Mexico as well, celebrating. I think this is

00:27one of the problems because one of the problems we have in Latin America is that U.S. is not

00:32only like a major military power, but has huge influence in the elites of the Latin American

00:39countries. So most of our countries right now in the region are divided, are polarized between

00:45progressive central left governments and right or extreme right governments. These right, extreme

00:52right governments, most of them are subservient to the U.S. And even the people like some like white

00:57people, rich people from Latin America, they dream about living in Miami. They have green

01:03cards. They are proud to be sort of like semi-U.S. citizens. So I don't think this will change

01:10in the short term. But again, in the long term, I think U.S. is starting to shoot their own feet

01:18here because this is dividing again. It's it's it's increasing the polarization, but it's also,

01:27I think it will give more arguments to the progressive sectors to the center left, who is against the

01:34imperialist aggressions in the United States.
