Probably nothing like that at all. Remember, the Russian ads everyone is going on about were basically clones of the ones domestic groups had created related to various social issues (BLM, gun violence, etc.). So really US propaganda in other parts of the world would just be cloning and amplifying social commentary...

Here in Brazil there are hundreds of american NGOs organizing groups and events about libertarianism, free market, capitalism, neoliberalism and most of them if not all support selling national companies and resources to foreign (aka american) companies.
