What Happened? |
The Trump administration is rallying Latin American governments behind a revamped Monroe Doctrine that would expand regional cooperation against drug trafficking, illegal migration, and China’s growing influence. |
Speaking in Peru, Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby outlined the new strategy following months of aggressive U.S. action in the region, including military strikes on drug boats and the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The Pentagon also plans joint counter-narcotics strikes with willing governments, an effort already underway in Ecuador. |
Colby argued that American defense policy can no longer separate threats abroad from drugs and illegal immigration affecting communities at home. He urged Latin American countries to increase military spending and protect strategic assets from foreign influence. |
The idea comes as several countries, including Peru and Colombia, elect right-wing governments more receptive to President Trump’s agenda. The political transformation could give Washington new allies as it seeks greater cooperation on security while countering China’s expanding presence across the Western Hemisphere. |
Why It Matters |
Washington is treating drug trafficking, illegal immigration, and Chinese influence in Latin America as national security threats that require more than diplomacy and law enforcement. Closer military cooperation would give the United States more options for targeting cartels and disrupting drug networks, as well as pressuring the actual governments that allow these criminal organizations to operate freely… |

Big Oil Just Bet Big on Lithium |
|
|
Eni, Italy’s largest oil producer, just signed a strategic agreement to invest into EnergyX’s lithium project in Chile, a stake that could reach $225M. The project is expected to generate $1.3B in annual revenue at forecasted market prices. |
It’s just one piece of EnergyX’s portfolio holding up to 15M+ tons of untapped lithium, and it’s the latest proof of EnergyX’s progress. Until July 16, you can invest as an early-stage shareholder and share in that growth. |
Natural resources weren’t the only draw. EnergyX’s patented tech recovers up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods at 500X the speed, paving the way to commercial-scale production. |
Lithium demand is projected to grow 5X by 2040, so the timing couldn’t be better. General Motors and POSCO are already EnergyX shareholders.* |
Now it’s your turn. Become an early-stage EnergyX shareholder before the July 16 deadline. |

|
Recent elections across Latin America have also given President Trump an opportunity to rebuild American influence in the region. Governments in Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Panama are now more receptive to working with Washington on security and economic issues. |
China has spent years expanding its presence across Latin America through trade, investment, and participation in critical infrastructure projects. Stronger ties between Washington and regional governments would make it harder for Beijing to gain control over strategic assets near the United States. |
How It Affects You |
The administration's strategy is to stop more threats before they reach the United States. Joint operations against cartels would disrupt the organizations producing and transporting fentanyl and other drugs into American communities. Closer cooperation with regional governments would also make it harder for smugglers to move migrants north through Latin America before they reach the U.S. border. |
China has spent years buying influence across Latin America through investments in ports, mines, and other critical infrastructure. That has given Beijing leverage over the resources and supply chains that American companies have come to rely on, while simultaneously expanding its presence much closer to the United States. By strengthening ties with Latin governments, American access to key materials would be protected while also preventing China from gaining even more control over strategically important industries. |
While bold, the strategy also carries significant risks. Joint military operations against cartels could draw the United States deeper into conflicts across the region and leave taxpayers funding another prolonged campaign abroad. Success could mean fewer drugs reaching American communities, less illegal migration, and a weaker Chinese presence in the Western Hemisphere. |
