That means that China is also quickly gaining political influence there.
I think that an exclusionary message from the United States to Central and South America, a message both verbally delivered by Mr. Trump and physically envisioned by him as a wall, is the sort of thing that will increase China's influence on this continent. Is Mr. Trump saying that he's afraid of China, that he thinks a battle between the United States and China for influence in Central and South America has already been fought and won by China? Even if that's what he's thinking, I don't think that a wall will help much. Money gets through almost anything.
"Stop sending us your garbage people" is not a nice thing to say. That's a paraphrase of Mr. Trump's attitude, but not by a lot; it's almost a direct quote. He underrates diplomacy and that is dangerous.
This page is a theory. I am positing it as a possible perspective. I'm not wrong, am I?
The Great Wall of Letting China Have Central and South America. I don't think it's a good idea.
