Latin America's shift to the right redraws the US's regional backyard landscape overnight
Latin America's right turn is reordering the United States' backyard, with multiple countries shifting to conservative governance. The region's new political landscape is drawing a red line for US influence and policy.
Latin America's shift to the right is transforming the region's politics and its relationship with the United States, as traditional left-leaning countries are giving way to more conservative governments. This shift has significant implications for US foreign policy in Latin America, with some countries aligning closer with Washington while others move away from it. The redrawing of the regional map has also created new opportunities for China and other global powers to increase their influence in the region. As a result, the United States is facing a reevaluation of its role in Latin America's politics and economy.
