The United States has announced its support for the construction of a new passenger train line in Lima, Peru. This infrastructure project aims to provide reliable and affordable transportation for over 200,000 people daily. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made the announcement, highlighting the Biden administration's commitment to infrastructure development in Peru. This move is seen as a strategic response to China's recent construction of a port in Peru, emphasizing competition through development rather than political or military pressure. This reflects the broader dynamic between super-powers in the region.
