Latin America Shifts Right as Brazil Faces Pivotal Election A major political shift is sweeping Latin America, with right leaning governments taking power across several countries. The trend has accelerated since the Trump administration dismantled USAID as an independent agency, leading some observers to question whether the disappearance of U.S. funded programs previously operating across the region played a role. There is no established evidence that the USAID changes caused these election results, which were also shaped by domestic political, economic and security issues. Brazil could now become the next major test of the region’s political direction. Credit: Abu Ali Express
