The US is sanctioning 1/3 of the world’s population. Sanctions have murderous results on innocent people in an effort to swing public opinion in favor of more pro-US policies from countries. Their consequences have been described as worse than war for some countries. They are the equivalent of siege warfare: starving out a population of a country until it does what you want.
It’s good that Latin American countries finally refuse to go along with this, especially as some of them have been targets of these very same sanctions before.
