Latin American Political Instability And Security
Evan Ellis assesses complex geopolitical shifts across Latin America. In Venezuela, opposition leader María Corina Machado struggles to return home as the U.S. navigates high-stakes oil deals alongside interim leaders Delcy and Jorge Rodríguez. Meanwhile, non-traditional U.S. counter-narcotics reporting reflects shifting diplomatic relations with Colombia and Venezuela. In Brazil, a close presidential election between Flavio Bolsonaro and Lula da Silva highlights deep polarization, judicial corruption controversies, and competing U.S.-China strategic interests. Additionally, Argentine President Javier Milei leverages historical Falkland Islands sovereignty claims to navigate domestic economic pressures and international political dynamics. (6)
