Why is Latin America shifting to the right?
Colombia and Peru recently elected right-wing, Trump-aligned leaders in close contests, linked by analysts to weakening centrist parties and crime concerns. Trump's influence in the region is noted, though his tariffs on Brazil boosted leftist President Lula's standing, with Brazil's October election seen as a key test of the rightward trend.
