Latin America shifts to the right under Trump’s influence

In recent months, several Latin American countries, including Bolivia, Chile, Honduras, Peru, and Colombia, have shifted from leftist to right-wing leadership. This political change is largely attributed to the influence of former U.S. President Donald Trump, whose administration actively supported conservative candidates. In Argentina, Javier Milei's election in 2023 has resulted in drastic economic measures, leading to increased poverty. The shift reflects a broader trend of voters seeking stability amid economic crises and rising crime.
