The use of US military aircraft for deportation flights was unusual until Trump took office. On Friday, two flights were made in Guatemala, each wearing about 80 deported migrants. Mexico refused a landing request for a US military plane with migrants on board last week. Previously, Trump suggested that he could impose a 25 percent of the Mexican slaves starting from February.
Oliver Della Costa Stuenkel, professor of international relations in the Getulio Vargas Foundation in Sao Paulo, Brazil, said Trump may start with Latin American countries in the short term, but his aggressive tactics could encourage leaders in the region to seek alternative partners in Washington.
“Leaders across Latin America will look at these moments and, I think they will be increasingly aware of the risk of being too dependent on the US,” Stuenkel told Al Jazeera.
“He will strive to diversify his partnerships, because for weaker countries, Washington, a very challenging and best way to increase the impact when negotiating with Trump and expanding your maneuver room is an alternative to the US. It’s not to be in a situation where you are so dependent that you have nowhere to run” Said Stuenkel.
Trump’s proposal “pure” gauze
On Saturday, Trump suggested the relocation of more than one million Palestinians from Gaza’s belt to other countries and “cleaning the whole thing”.
“I wish Egypt would take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean that whole thing and say, ‘You know, it’s over. “
Trump said that he praised Jordan for successfully accepting Palestinian refugees in the past and told King Abdullah II: “I would like you to take over more, because I am currently looking at the whole Gaza tape, and that is a mess. It’s a real mess.” Currently, according to the agency For the help and working refugees of the United Nations for Palestine in the Middle East (UNRWA), more than 2.39 million registered Palestinian refugees live in Jordan, which has a population of 11.1 million.
The Israeli 15-month war against Gaza displaced almost all 2.3 million population of the enclave, some of which are several times. Trump said Gaza residents can move “temporarily or be long -term.”
The Palestinians demolished the Palestinians on Sunday.
“It is impossible for people to accept this,” said Palestinian Nafiz Halawa al Jazeera of Nuseirata in Central Gaza. “The weak could leave because of the suffering they suffered, but the idea of leaving our country … This is absolutely impossible.“
