The percentage of Latin Americans who viewed the United States favorably fell from the high 60s in 2015 to around 45 in 2017

first time in history, you can truly envision a western hemisphere that is secure, democratic and middle-class, from northern Canada to southern Chile, and everywhere in between.” So said Joe Biden in a speech at Harvard University in 2014. Much has changed since then, not least the destruction of lives and livelihoods wrought by the pandemic.

Wary of Mr Trump’s threats of tariffs and sanctions, many governments have fallen into line “out of necessity and especially out of fear”, says a Latin American official. Ordinary Latin Americans are not impressed: the percentage who express a favourable view of the United States fell from the high 60s in 2015 to around 45 in 2017, according to the Pew Research Centre.

Were Mr Biden to win, his priorities would be the American economy and dealing with China. But Latin America might not be at the bottom of his to-do list. He knows the region far better than recent presidents. In Barack Obama’s second term Vice-President Biden took on responsibility for the Americas. “He dedicated time to it, set out to learn about it and talked to a lot of people in the region,” says the Latin American official.

Joe Biden is the least worst

Familar feeling of a successful coup

'Now we have over 120 million dead from Covid'. I see what you mean. It would be good to have such a lucid and clear thinking person in charge.

I'm from 🇬🇧 but if if lived in the 🇺🇸 no way would I vote for that pedo Biden! Trump ain't no statesman, that's for sure but at least he is funny. He would get my vote.

Stop it ... you’re wokeness is ridiculous

We Latinos know what the Democrats did in 8 years of presidency. They embraced communist dictators, and communism was strongly established in Latin America.

Gosh, you're really having the stretch to try to shill for him. How can the US be an inherently racist country in need of change and yet a man who has been in power for 30 years be reassuring to minorities. Square that circle for me.

Biden will do whatever to get to the throne

Biden ?

Nice familiar vision

Venezuela would love him.

True! You said something true! Congratulations. Yes, Latin Americans would recognize and feel very comfortable with a guy like Biden. They elect guys like Biden all the time.

He must open the borders! Not only millions of Mexicans but also Africans want to go to USA Can't wait to move. I am tired of been ruled by corruption and crime...

Don't play the hero from the north !

Familiar, yes. Reassuring, definitely not.

Lmao Biden and establishment Dems are annoyed with Trump not because he isn't meddling in LA, but because Trump is crap at it. You can only vote for competent or incompetent imperialists. Nothing else.

JoeBiden 77 years old already, just another corrupted politician from the old deep state system, has deep link with Chinese Communist Part; to be honest, he has Zero chance to win. The question is what’s wrong with Democrats? Where those young and new candidates?

Will need to get some Salsa lessons from Victor Cruz

Same

Did Biden write this? lmao

You are insane.

We’ll never know what he plans to do as long as he keeps hiding in the basement.

Biden proposes to dialogue with Maduro and the Venezuelan narco-dictatorship, do you think this is good for Latin Americans? the only option for peace and development in the region is to end socialism. Joe doesn't want that.

Why not? We are tired to hear that we are the backyard or USA. We are countries with our own idiosyncratic thoughts and different ways to see and understand the United States. Tre president represents just one opinion.

Agreed he will be predictable war monger

30+ years of corruption & incompetence is 'reassuring & familiar'? That's an odd take, even for your rag.

A President is 'supposed' to 'represent' all people, but 'not' in the United States as history has confirmed. And it's in 'writing' in the Constitution. 3/5 of a Person Clause still exists today. Foreigners 'before' American blacks. True Fact. Isis

Trump is the worst President in American history. He’s a racist!

😂 now we have electioninterference from . No surprise, of course.

This guy even can't change his own underwear, he will never change nathing, a lacking report

I doubt that.

He was just musing the other day (in response to a question concerning Latin America) about preserving those pockets of the US where Latin is still spoken. Reminds him of attending mass as a kid

Both are liers

He has dementia and cant form a proper sentence. There wont be a debate because Biden cant debate one on one.

Coups?

four years of white supremacy, fascism, concentration camps for children, pandemic negationism,etc, etc

American AGGRESSION and meddling in Venezuela will go unchanged with either Trump or Biden

But all that diversity?!

I guess it’s got to do with Taco Bell misrepresenting Mexico 😠

and if you ask about how many do they see the orange mentally deranged freak in the White House in a good light it will probably go down to 5%

60% is still a 'D' rating.

Being Latin American I prefer Trump. Biden represents the worst in America: abortion, gays, marijuana, feminists, secularism, anti-Christianity, high taxes, progressive ideas, liberal ideas, amnesties, invasion of migrants, anarchy.

Perhaps someone can explain why the leadership of one country cares about their popularity outside of their country?

Siendo yo latinoamericano prefiero a Trump. Biden representa lo peor de Estados Unidos: aborto, gays, marihuana, feministas, Laicismo, anti cristianismo, altos impuestos, ideas progresistas, ideas liberales, amnistias, invasión de migrantes, anarquía.

We don’t want the corpse unburied in Florida

Corruption is a SIN to Australia and must be dealt with by Jailing Corrupt Public Servants like the Ruby Princess Disaster and Victorian Hotel Quarantine are just 2 egs of INCOMPETENT AUSTRALIAN POLITICIANS ARE 🏖Aussie MEDEVAC Aug 20=20 for the Nation's FUTURE! CALMA IS GREAT!

Joe Biden clarifies remarks on Latino community.DrVMDS discusses Joe Biden's remarks on the Latino and Black community: “These inartful comments are just not helping in a time when he needs everything he can to boost that Latino turnout and to get Latinos to come over to his side.” DrVMDS Cue still angry and pissed off Bernie supporters and despite trumpers in 1..2..3 DrVMDS DrVMDS I’m honestly sick of this whiny whataboutism. Joe’s not perfect we all know that. But his comments PALE in comparison to the hateful deeds of the creep in office. So when you start to write this bullshit think what might seriously be worth writing about.
