“A nation suffering from a state of internal war” according to Gen.

![Nixon on Chile](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Call Number: CD 258Format: CDCollection: Compact discs and videos representing digitized copies of analog tapes
Past President Richard Nixon is interviewed by Frost about the US reasons for cutting off financial assistance to Chile after Allende was elected as well as the reasons why the US supported Pinochet after the coup. He states that, because Chile was exapropriating American property, Allende was a threat to the United States. On the difference between Pinochet and Allende, Nixon says that Allende posed a security threat to the US (the threat of becoming another Cuba- the “Red Sandwich” analogy) because his government was a “left-wing dicatorship” while Pinochet’s regime was more of a human rights concern. That the US only disapproved of Pinochet’s internal policies but his foreign policy was fine.
