Nobel Peace Prize recipient Adolfo Pérez Esquivel has issued a severe condemnation of United States foreign policy toward Latin America through his organization, the Service for Peace and Justice (SERPAJ). The statement characterizes former President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to seize Venezuelan oil and national assets as founded on falsehoods, facilitated by the \”complicit silence\” of European allies and major international institutions including the United Nations, the Organization of American States (OAS), and the U.S. Congress. Pérez Esquivel accuses Washington of adopting a posture of \”fierce hostility\” that endangers the entire Latin American region. The critique further describes Trump as behaving like a \”great dictator\” who systematically disregards established international law, binding treaties, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. SERPAJ’s document highlights the enduring U.S. economic embargo against Cuba, now in its seventh decade, alongside contemporary threats directed at nations such as Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, and Nicaragua. It also alleges American interference in regional electoral processes, citing Honduras as a specific example. The statement contextualizes current U.S. actions within a long and violent history of supporting military dictatorships and orchestrating interventions across the continent to preserve its global hegemony. SERPAJ concludes that as U.S. power is increasingly contested by other nations on the world stage, it is aggressively seeking to secure its interests and maintain dominance within its traditional sphere of influence in Latin America through blockades, destabilization attempts, military posturing, and overt threats.
