YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAs Donald Trump pushes mass deportations and threatens Latin American leaders, is the U.S. reviving an old imperial playbook? Pulitzer Prize–winning Yale historian Greg Grandin joins Marc Lamont Hill on UpFront to unpack how today's border cruelty, economic sanctions, and foreign meddling trace directly back to U.S. policies like the Monroe Doctrine, NAFTA, and Cold War coups.
This urgent conversation dives deep into how Washington's actions have devastated economies, sparked mass migration, and fueled a new wave of anti-U.S. sentiment across Latin America. With Trump now proposing military force and threatening the sovereignty of nations like Panama and Mexico, Grandin warns: the empire may never have left.
Millions are on the move - not because they want to, but because U.S. policies leave them no choice. From deportation raids to renaming the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. isn’t just enforcing immigration law - it’s reasserting dominance in its "backyard." This interview reveals how history explains the present - and what’s at stake if we don’t learn from it.
