Latin America-United States relations

So, Latin America is a bunch of countries down south of the United States. They speak Spanish and Portuguese there. The United States is a big country in North America and they speak English. Sometimes the United States and Latin America have good relationships, like when they trade with each other and help each other out. But sometimes they don't get along so well.

In the past, the United States has sometimes been mean to Latin America by taking over their land and resources. People in Latin America didn't like this and sometimes they got angry at the United States for it. But now, the United States is trying to be nicer to Latin America by working together more and helping them with things like helping to build schools and hospitals.

Sometimes there are disagreements between the United States and Latin America about things like how to deal with drug trafficking or illegal immigration. But they try to work together to find solutions to these problems.

Overall, the relationship between Latin America and the United States is like any other relationship that people have. They have good times and bad times but they keep working together to make things better.
