State Department Alarmed by Russia's Growing Influence in Latin America
Tillerson goes on a week-long tour of Latin America.
The state secretary emphasized that Washington, in contrast to Moscow and Beijing, “does not seek immediate benefits,” but seeks a mutually beneficial partnership “for the prosperity of the Western Hemisphere.”
He noted that China offers Latin America "an attractive way of development" through the use of public resources, which lead to "prolonged dependence on Beijing and damage the production sector of these countries", in addition, "reduce the wages of workers and lead to unemployment."
It is planned that before February 7, the foreign minister will visit Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Colombia and Jamaica.
