My Administration is dedicated to securing human rights in Cuba and Venezuela, and strengthening our cultural and philosophical ties with all our Latin American partners.

President Donald J. Trump

***Congrats to those that guessed Central America, Venezuela!***

PARTNERING TO PROMOTE REGIONAL PROSPERITY: President Donald J. Trump is using the G20 Summit to work with partners to promote economic prosperity for the Americas.

* The Administration is working through the “Americas Crece” initiative to expand exports, enhance energy and infrastructure security, and increase investment throughout the region.

* President Trump continues to work to secure free and fair trade with America’s allies and improve access to regional markets in Latin America.

* Recently, it was announced that the Argentine market has been reopened to American beef. This followed a deal announced last year to open Argentina to American pork.

* This week on the sidelines of the G20, the United States signed a framework to strengthen infrastructure and energy cooperation with Argentina for years to come.

* The Overseas Private Investment Corporation also signed letters of interest for six projects in Argentina that are expected to attract more than $3 billion in investment.

* These projects are in key areas, including energy production, transportation infrastructure, and pipeline construction.

* Expanding commercial relations with our neighbors is a key part of the Administration’s effort to push back against unfair trade and investment practices and to protect the economic security of the region.

* Increased United States investment in Argentina and the region will improve our partners’ resiliency against predatory lending.

DEFENDING DEMOCRATIC VALUES: President Trump is standing up to authoritarian regimes across the region.

* President Trump is challenging autocratic regimes in the region that refuse to respect their people’s call for democracy.

* In Venezuela, the Trump Administration has imposed sanctions against the corrupt Maduro regime and its enablers.
* The Trump Administration has imposed sanctions on Cuban military and intelligence services for their continued actions to undermine democracy.

* This week, the President signed an Executive Order imposing sanctions on Nicaraguan officials for their dismantling of democratic institutions and human rights abuses.

* This Order will enable the Administration to target members and associates of the regime for its indiscriminate human rights abuses and rampant corruption.

ENHANCING REGIONAL SECURITY: The Trump Administration is working with allies to enhance regional security.

* President Trump is working closely with allies in the region to combat transnational criminal networks and terrorist organizations.

* The Trump Administration has partnered with Argentina to push for greater law enforcement cooperation to help combat organized crime and terrorism.

* Together, the United States and its partners are working to decrease the illicit flows of drugs, cash, and weapons and to combat human smuggling.
