Latinoamerica divides up the Americas by ethnicity. North America is USA and Canada, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Trinidad & Tobago, Miami (lol), Saint Lucia, Dominca, US Virgin Islands, and other Anglosphere Antilles. The rest is Latinoamerica, including Puerto Rico (US) and Brazil (Portuguese ancestry).
Fun fact: there is a considerable portion of Latinoamerica that refuses to call people from the USA “Americans”, and instead call them United Statians (Estado Unidenses) or North Americans (Norteamericanos). This is because they see everyone from the Americas as Americans, so calling people from the US Americans kind of implies that everyone else isn’t American. This trend is more common in Latin American countries that have had an antagonized relationship with the US, especially in the 1900s during the Kissinger years.
Funner fact: In general, French Guiana and Haiti get grouped in with Latinoamerica, but not Quebec or Louisiana. I don’t know about Martinique and Guadeloupe, but my guess is that they would.
Funnest fact: Lots of people in Cuba don’t even use United Statesians or North Americans as identifiers. Instead, they call Americans “Yuma” after an American movie called 3:10 to Yuma where the part of the plot was to reach Yuma, AZ.

Makes sense (except the Yuma part).
