What happened
In Brazil, the runoff election between Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro was nearing its conclusion. A victory for Flávio Bolsonaro would place Brazil among Latin American countries, such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Peru, that have elected allies of Donald Trump. This trend follows a series of right-wing victories across the region, including in Argentina in 2023.
Why it matters
The political alignment of Bolsonaro's allies with Donald Trump could shift regional geopolitical alignment. This shift might affect trade agreements and regional cooperation within the Organization of American States. Furthermore, increased regional risk perception might impact European investors.
A coalition of countries, including Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Chile, Dominican Republic, and Colombia, is working to strengthen regional resilience.
