The Lingering Legacy of Kissinger's Controversial Diplomacy
TL;DR Summary
The death of former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has sparked a different reaction in Latin America, where many countries were scarred by human rights abuses during the Cold War. Kissinger played a key role in undermining and weakening the socialist government of Salvador Allende in Chile, and then supported the brutal military dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet. He also ignored human rights violations in Argentina and other countries in the region. Kissinger's actions have left a lasting impact on Latin America, where many still harbor a deep distrust of the United States.
