La TerceraIndependent🔒ProgressiveFactual 85Objective 7024 days ago From Nixon to Trump: the other times that the US made the Chilean economy "scream" and that today hits KastThe article discusses historical U.S. economic pressure on Chile, referencing Richard Nixon's strategy to 'make the economy scream' against Salvador Allende during the 1970s. It highlights how this approach was used to undermine Allende's government through financial and economic measures such as aid cuts and price increases. The piece then draws parallels to current tensions under President José Antonio Kast, who criticizes the Trump administration's imposition of a 12.5% tariff on Chilean exports. This move is seen as undermining diplomatic relations, especially after Kast previously criticized President Gabriel Boric for his criticism of Trump. The article suggests that the U.S. has consistently applied economic pressure on Chile regardless of political alignment.
