Why is Latin America shifting to the right?
The News
Colombia and Peru have recently elected right-wing, Trump-aligned leaders in close contests. Analysts attribute this to weakening centrist parties and growing concern over crime, rather than a clear ideological shift. Meanwhile, Trump has hosted regional allies in Florida, but his tariffs on Brazil have had the opposite effect, boosting leftist President Lula's standing.
