On the business front, South America is experiencing a significant political realignment.

On the business front, South America is experiencing a significant political realignment. Colombia has just elected Trump-backed Abelardo "El Tigre" De La Espriella as president, ending four years of a left-wing administration. De La Espriella secured a narrow victory, campaigning on a platform of law and order, economic reform, and national renewal. This shift mirrors recent right-wing victories in Honduras, Chile, Peru, Argentina, and the decisive re-election of Nayib Bukele in El Salvador.
