WATCH: 🇺🇸 SOUTHCOM Commander Laura Richardson describes how Washington is actively negotiating the sale of lithium in the Lithium Triangle through its U.S. embassies.

US military invasion in South America. US military operation for lithium.

Here’s what could get more expensive with Trump’s new tariffs.

Incredible. So now the US is using military personnel to 'box out' its trade competitors and stop them buying raw materials. Is this the 'rules-based' international order?

Alberto Fernández and Gabriel Boric should recall the U.S. ambassadors in their respective countries and declare them persona non grata - if they care at all about sovereignty. Bolivia also needs to investigate this blatant confession.

🇺🇸 General Richardson says it was suggested that she meet with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce about her travels to Latin America and the Caribbean: "It's not just all about military, right?"

No se ustedes pero cuando se trata de recursos naturales con valor económico, en MI país charlan los ministros de economía, NO los milicos yankis

so they just want our resorces and say it's "help"...sure

What an evil person hope hell is real for these people that treat coups and ruining countries like it’s just another day at the office

They'll 'coup who they want'

USA military = corporate shock troops

Me llamaron loca, ALEJENSE DE NUESTRO PAÍS ASESINOS

By “challenges” I think it’s safe to say she means the locals who live in those countries and possible left wing popular movements. Oh what to do about the people though!?

The Problem? What Problem? Chile's Sovereignty? Argentina's? Bolivia's? The invisible hand of the market that makes these countries more willing to work with China than the US? That's the problem you're trying to figure out?

She has the nerve to talk about others being aggressive! That really is some cheek

I think we will be hearing a lot about human rights and democracy in Chile Argentina and Bolivia in the near future😅

👆🚨 El Comando Sur tras el litio latinoamericano. ¿Entienden ahora por qué les agrada y favorecen una América Latina desestabilizada? Bolivia, Argentina, Perú...... La garra yanqui tras el saqueo a los recursos naturales #

Same way the military trafficked drugs around the world.

I don't want to see what "freedom" they'll bring to south america.

Imperialism

This incoherently speaking woman is a senior military commander? Frightening.

That is a 4 Star gangster right there.. And they are everywhere. Looting oil from Syria, getting protection money from Japan, running weapons all over!

It would be less satirical if American military members just wore pirate outfits. At least be honest.

Saying the quiet part out loud.

The face of Imperialism

Is this what USA means, when bringing Freedom to other countries.. hypocrites and leeches

We don't need any US military "help". Go away, thanks.

The USA is in Search of Lithium at all costs...good thing Bolivia doesn't play their game. The U.S. military is a paid paramilitary death squadron.

@BrianMteleSUR Thus, Latin America continues to bleed to quench the thirst of the US military-industrial complex.

So US military is actively involved in negotiating about Lithium, right? Wtf is happening? Since what time military generals became commercial deals experts?

Seems to me they would like to use a friendly country for a base of operations. They tried to install a regime in Bolivia and that didn’t work out. So now Perú?
