Trump Is Remaking Latin America

At a time when the president’s war on Iran looks like a miscalculation of historic proportions, and when his rhetoric, tariffs, and other actions have alienated traditional U.S. allies in many parts of the world, Latin America stands out as the foreign policy sphere in which Trump has enjoyed the most success in advancing his agenda.

- Unprecedented security cooperation from Mexico
- Setbacks for China in Mexico, Panama, Chile & elsewhere
- U.S. treasury rescue probably changed history in Argentina
- Basically picked a president in Honduras
- Venezuela
- Aligned leaders being elected everywhere

Yet some Latin American policymakers, even as they acknowledge Trump’s victories, warn of an emerging backlash to Washington's heavy hand. In a recent meeting, the foreign minister of a Latin American government aligned with Trump told me with palpable anger: “We will not be anyone’s vassal.”

With major decisions still to come on Cuba, Mexico, and Venezuela, the return of U.S. interventionism in the 21st century may ultimately have the opposite effect that Trump wants: driving the region away from the United States and into the arms of China.

To understand how Abelardo will fare, I’d ask: Will he follow the path of Jair Bolsonaro, or Javier Milei? Both were outsiders who staged “hostile takeovers” of the establishment right in their countries, as Abelardo just has. Milei quickly formed an alliance with Mauricio Macri’s party, giving him a certain (if imperfect) ability to pass legislation and govern from Day 1. Bolsonaro, by contrast, spent his first year in office fighting the culture wars and lashing out at the traditional powers of Brasília, and never really recovered.

Abelardo has sent mixed signals about which path he might take. Given the narrow result, he may be wise to seek alliances not just with uribismo but other center and center-right forces, if he is to tackle Colombia’s tremendous security, economic and fiscal challenges.

Could the World Cup affect Brazil’s presidential election? A fun look at the history, and a prediction:

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Referee denied entry.

Officials denied entry.

Players denied entry.

Fans denied entry.

The U.S. is proving exactly why it never should’ve been chosen to host the World Cup.

Chama atenção que os EUA designaram o PCC e o Comando Vermelho como organizações terroristas, mas não as máfias italianas — Cosa Nostra, Camorra, 'Ndrangheta —, apesar de serem grupos enormes, transnacionais e extremamente violentos. Para Washington, elas são crime organizado, não terrorismo.

Trump’s recklessness has drawn Barack Obama to work in politics “more than I would have preferred,” he told Peter Slevin. In a new profile, the former President discusses his current political role and why he thinks liberals still have reasons to hope.

On January 8, 2023, thousands of supporters of Brazil’s right-wing former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed federal buildings in the country’s capital. Their goal? Overthrow the results of an election they claimed was rigged, despite no credible evidence of fraud.
