Osmani Simanca's 2018 cartoon shows a map with USA, Cuba, Venezuela, and Latin America labeled clearly. Uncle Sam stands on the USA landmass, telescope in hand, gazing south toward a mustached man in a red suit on Venezuela. This figure, resembling Nicolas Maduro, raises a red card in one hand and a Venezuelan flag in the other, with a palm tree nearby. The Summit of the Americas tag suggests commentary on exclusion, while Uncle Sam and USA elements point to American oversight. Latin America spans the bottom, emphasizing regional dynamics in this straightforward satirical piece.
