US re-programs $52M military aid from Europe, Middle East to Latin America

The Trump administration notified Congress of plans to divert $52 million in foreign military financing from Slovakia, North Macedonia, Tunisia, and Iraq to support conservative-leaning governments in Central and South America. This marks a shift in US security assistance priorities, potentially weakening NATO's eastern flank and Middle East partners while bolstering ideological allies in the Western Hemisphere. The move signals a realignment of US foreign policy toward ideological alignment over traditional strategic commitments.
