The Biden administration would rather align itself with Marxists than pro-Western Euro or Latin American leaders

[Washington Examiner] Juan Gonzalez, who led the Biden administration’s curious policy of embracing anti-United States Marxist leaders in Latin America while making enemies of their pro-Western counterparts, has resigned his post as the National Security Council’s top hemispheric adviser.

Gonzalez will depart the NSC in March to spend more time with his children, an anonymous official told Bloomberg on Tuesday.

The resignation came a day after Argentina’s new president, Javier Milei, sent to the U.S. a seized Venezuelan cargo plane with ties to Iran, underscoring the folly of stiff-arming genuinely pro-American leaders while supporting those who may be leftist ideological allies of this White House but are arch-enemies of American national interests.

As the NSC’s senior director for the Western Hemisphere, Gonzalez has personified that approach.

"Gonzalez is the architect of the administration’s failed Venezuela policy as well as most of the politicized aspects of our current regional engagement," Andres Martinez-Fernandez, the Heritage Foundation’s top Latin American expert, emailed me Tuesday night. "Friends of the U.S. in the region will be glad to see him go."

Gonzalez has wooed Venezuela’s Marxist strongman Nicolas Maduro, Colombian President Gustavo Petro, a former member of the M19 terrorist armed guerrilla movement, and Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, another Marxist leader with an anti-American animus.
Pro-immigration, drug cartel and 'people trafficking' implied in the above para.
On a trip just this month to South America, Gonzalez again tried to sell the baffling idea that Colombia’s Petro would be not just the ideal intermediary between Maduro and the opposition he crushes on a regular basis, but also between Maduro and Washington.

#1 Venezuela's Javier Milei, El Sal's Nayib Bukele's, and Hungary's Victor Orban exhibit Orange Man's 'small gov't, non-globalist, law and order, pro-national border tendencies. All three have proven difficult if not impossible to recruit.

Unlike Biden, all three are intensely popular among their national constituencies.

#2 CPAC scores ‘chainsaw’ Argentine President Javier Milei

The “lion of the Andes,” Argentine President Javier Milei, is traveling to Washington next weekend to speak at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference convention and is the second populist Latin leader whom organizers will showcase to the thousands of Republican activists.

He will join El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele at the four-day event that is also expected to feature former President Donald Trump, who is making his record-setting 14th appearance.

The populist presidents won big with promises to reform their governments and bureaucracies dramatically. Bukele was reelected this month with an estimated 85% of the vote. Milei won in November with over 55% of the vote.

Both are also popular among American Hispanics, and their message to the CPAC is expected to be watched closely. Milei and Trump are scheduled to speak on Saturday, Feb. 24.
