The article discusses the need for a new approach to US-Latin American relations, highlighting the negative consequences of the Trump and Biden administrations' policies. It argues for a modern version of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's "Good Neighbor Policy" from the 1930s, which emphasized non-intervention and mutual respect. The article suggests key planks for this new policy, including an end to military intervention, closure of US military bases in the region, and a shift away from economic coercion. It also calls for support of trade policies that benefit the people and protect the environment, a humane immigration policy, and recognition of Latin America's cultural contributions. The article acknowledges that resistance from vested interests and racist arguments may hinder the implementation of a new policy, but emphasizes the potential benefits for both the US and Latin America.
