The US administration tries to establish friendly relations with Latin American states. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will spend the whole week in Latin America. Latin America was pushed into the background when Bush was at power, although the region is extremely important for the United States. And here is the result: Latin American states have been very unfriendly towards the American course both in politics and economics ...more.
