While the US is involved in a collaborative role, I would caution externalizing all of Peru’s problems as US meddling. The Peruvian congress was the major player with the support of the military. There’s a Peruvian bourgeoisie that don’t need the US telling them their interests; though the Peruvian bourgeoisie is hand in glove with the US, this wouldn’t be considered a US coup because they already have a firm grasp on the state. I’d be more inclined to call the ousting business as usual.
just another us coup against leftist presidents in Latin America
