United States Military Aid to Latin America

U.S. military aid to Latin America involves providing equipment, training, and financial support to help countries improve their defense capabilities. This assistance aims to promote regional stability, combat drug trafficking, and support democratic institutions. While it enhances security, critics sometimes raise concerns about its impact on local sovereignty and human rights. The aid typically includes weapons, military advisors, and joint exercises, fostering cooperation between the U.S. and Latin American nations to address shared security challenges.
