Bogotá
In a fiery address, Colombian Senator Iván Cepeda urged Latin American nations to unite against what he termed U.S. “aggression” and dominance in the region. Speaking under the banner of “Geopolitics of the Weak”, Cepeda argued that smaller nations must build solidarity to resist Washington’s military and economic pressures.
The senator criticized U.S. foreign policy for perpetuating instability and inequality across Latin America, citing interventions and sanctions as examples of coercive tactics. He called for a new framework of cooperation among countries in the Global South, emphasizing collective sovereignty and regional integration.
Cepeda’s remarks come amid growing debates over U.S. influence in Colombia, where military aid and trade agreements remain contentious. Observers note that his appeal reflects a broader push among progressive leaders in Latin America to challenge traditional power structures and assert independence in global affairs.
International analysts say the speech could intensify diplomatic friction, but also galvanize movements advocating for multipolarity and reduced reliance on U.S. institutions.
