Fujimori, daughter of former President Alberto Fujimori, embraces her father&#8217;s controversial legacy in a country notorious for its political instability, having experienced nine presidents in ten years. Peru, known for its closely divided electorate, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/apple-of-their-eye-the-house-gop-has-a-math-and-a-map-problem-in-new-york\/\" title=\"GOP in NY has a math and map issue\">historically leaned left<\/a>, but recent elections have tipped the balance toward right-wing leadership, with Peru&#8217;s victory representing one of the region&#8217;s biggest wins for the right.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout Latin America, a substantial number of countries now have right-leaning governments, especially following the peak of the left-wing \u201cPink Tide\u201d in 2023. Notable shifts include Argentina\u2019s election of libertarian Javier Milei, Bolivia\u2019s right-wing victory ending over two decades of socialism, and Chile\u2019s ousting of President Gabriel Boric by right-wing Jose Antonio Kast. These changes often align with Trump\u2019s policies, such as endorsing pro-Trump candidates across the continent, including in Honduras and Colombia.<\/p>\n<p>However, some major economies like Brazil and Mexico remain under left-wing control, with mexico seen as a stronghold of the left in the region. Meanwhile, countries like Uruguay and Suriname have moved in the opposite direction, returning to leftist leadership.the regional dynamics continue to be complex, with leftist governments clashing with U.S. policies, especially over issues like drug policy and immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Under Trump\u2019s influence, U.S.-Latin America relations have become more assertive, exemplified by military operations and the establishment of the \u201cShield of the Americas,\u201d an alliance of right-wing governments focused on combating crime, organized crime, and terrorism. Trump\u2019s close ties with leaders like Milei and bukele have strengthened this trend. The recent victories for the right signal a significant realignment in the region\u2019s political landscape, though whether this shift will persist depends partly on Trump\u2019s ongoing engagement and regional developments.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keiko Fujimori won the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/peru\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4381\">Peruvian<\/a> presidential election on her fourth try, making Peru the latest in a trend of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/latin-america\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"2487\">Latin American<\/a> countries shifting right since President Donald Trump took office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fujimori, the daughter of former strongman President Alberto Fujimori, embraced her father\u2019s controversial legacy, which has defined Peru\u2019s politics since the 1990s.

Of these, 12 have right-wing, Trump-friendly governments, including those in transition, while nine have left-wing governments. Five of the newly right-wing governments were elected after President Donald Trump took office, possibly reflecting his policy towards Latin America.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-2\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-2\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-16\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rightward shift is all the more remarkable given Latin America had just experienced the peak of its left-wing \u201cPink Tide\u201d in 2023, a year when only six countries, and no major economies, had right-wing governments.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-blue-tide\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Blue Tide<\/h2>\n<div style=\"position: relative; width: 100%; height: 0px; padding: 97.66% 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; will-change: transform;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/a74e95c4-195f-436e-b9b2-78a5094f2976?src=embed&#038;embed_type=responsive_iframe\" title=\"Latin American shifts since Trump\" allowfullscreen allow=\"fullscreen\" style=\"position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0px; left: 0px; border-width: medium; border-style: none; border-color: currentcolor; border-image: initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Brazilian President Lula\u2019s inauguration on Jan. 1, 2023, only El Salvador, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Panama, and the Dominican Republic stood as dams against the Pink Tide, with right-wing prospects in the continent at an all-time low. This fit well with the Biden administration, which shared many of the priorities of the ruling left-wing governments throughout Latin America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pink Tide was backed by economic weight, as all five of South America\u2019s biggest economies \u2014 Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, and Chile \u2014 were under left-wing control.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-17\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first major reversal came in December 2023, when the bombastic right-wing libertarian Javier Milei won Argentina\u2019s general election. He won on a platform promising radical economic reforms to reverse the malaise the country had found itself in, casting blame on the predominant left-wing ideology that had dominated the country for decades. His victory was a major blow to the Left in Latin America, as Argentina was long seen as one of its most durable and sizable bastions. Left-wing governments ruled in 16 out of the 20 years before Milei took office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ensuing years proved that Milei\u2019s victory wasn\u2019t an anomaly, but a new pattern. Panama was the next domino to fall when right-wing President Jose Raul Mulino won the May 2024 election, taking power from the former left-wing President Laurentino Cortizo on July 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bolivia saw a shocking reversal when the right-wing President Rodrigo Paz won the October 2025 runoff election, ending over two decades of near-unbroken socialist rule. The Left in the country wasn\u2019t going down without a fight, however, and former President Evo Morales has engineered a virtual siege of the country through country-wide strikes and road blockades.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-25\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chile was another of the most notable shifts, as the young left-wing President Gabriel Boric was viewed as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/army-rotc-cadet-dies-during-training-in-kentucky-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Army ROTC cadet dies during training in Kentucky - Washington Examiner\">promising young leader<\/a> in one of the most modern Latin American countries. He was ousted by the right-wing Jose Antonio Kast, who assumed the presidency on March 11 after winning the Dec. 14, 2025, runoff. Kast\u2019s victory was viewed as the most significant rightward shift of the country since the end of former dictator Augusto Pinochet\u2019s rule in 1990.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While appeals to better relations with the U.S. have featured in several elections, Trump played his most prominent role in Honduras, endorsing and assisting the right-wing Nasry Asfura, who won the Dec. 24, 2025, election that ousted the former left-wing President Xiomara Castro.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">June 21 saw one of the biggest thorns in Trump\u2019s side removed, when the right-wing Abelardo Gabriel de la Espriella beat a left-wing rival favored by incumbent socialist President Gustavo Petro.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-26\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-5\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Espriella was endorsed by Trump and is often directly compared to him. He\u2019s known as \u201cEl Tigre\u201d and has advocated for a hardline policy against drugs in line with that of Trump\u2019s. The Trump administration has repeatedly bumped heads with Petro\u2019s government over the latter\u2019s liberal drug policy, something Espriella is set to reverse when he takes office on Aug. 7.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">Presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella of the opposition Defenders of the Motherland movement addresses supporters from inside a bulletproof booth at a celebration rally after runoff election results showed him leading in Barranquilla, Colombia, Sunday, June 21, 2026.

(AP Photo\/Ivan Valencia)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rounding out the rightward shift is Peru. Election day was June 7, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/media-defends-nevadas-slow-election-vote-count-after-condemning-delayed-tally-in-2020-iowa-caucuses\/\" title=\"Media Defends Nevada\u2019s Slow ... Vote Count After Condemning Delayed Tally in 2020 Iowa Caucuses\">slow vote-counting process<\/a> and narrow margin meant Fujimori\u2019s imminent victory was only established when vote-counting stopped on Monday. Fujimori\u2019s victory is a major win for the Latin American Right, and if she serves out her term, it will be the first stable, unambiguously right-wing government since her father stepped down in 2000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rightward turns of Chile, Colombia, and Peru are the biggest victories for the right, as they\u2019re some of the biggest heavyweights of the region. With Argentina under right-wing control, four of South America\u2019s five biggest economies are now under right-wing governments.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-where-the-pink-tide-holds\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where the Pink Tide holds<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ascendancy of the right across Latin America comes with some caveats. The two biggest economies in Latin America, Brazil and Mexico, remain under firm left-wing rule. Combined, the two make up over half of the region\u2019s GDP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mexico is the left\u2019s best bastion, with President Claudia Sheinbaum enjoying relatively high polling numbers and the country\u2019s right-wing virtually nonexistent. Brazil has a durable and embittered right-wing, but Lula is still comfortably leading Flavio Bolsonaro in the most recent polls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right-wing wave across the region also isn\u2019t unanimous, with two small countries, Suriname and Uruguay, going in the opposite direction since Trump\u2019s election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Uruguay, President Yamandu Orsi won his runoff election on Nov. 24, 2024, just weeks after Trump won. He took over from the right-wing former President Luis Lacalle Pou, who ruled from 2020 to 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Suriname, the left-wing President Jennifer Geerlings-Simons took power last year after assembling a left-wing coalition from the results of the May 25, 2025, election. She took over from former President Chan Santokhi, who was usually characterized as a centrist and ruled from 2020 to 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just ahead of the right-wing wave, in Guatemala, left-wing President Bernardo Arevalo won the Aug. 20, 2023, election, taking over from the right-wing former President Alejandro Giammattei, who ruled from 2020 to 2024. Arevalo\u2019s victory marked the zenith of the Pink Tide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Belize and Guyana had leftward shifts in 2020. Cuba and Nicaragua are both widely considered communist dictatorships, with no right-wing or opposition to speak of.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The left-wing governments have clashed with the Trump administration on numerous occasions, particularly in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. Colombia faced some of the worst attacks from Trump, with Washington even sanctioning some officials and altering its official designation as a country cooperating in the War on Drugs, until a recent period of detente.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Mexico, the main areas of contention have been the War on Drugs and immigration, though Sheinbaum has chosen to cooperate in a limited manner. She has walked a thin line between appeasing her base with language defiant against Washington, while also refraining from drawing the ire of Trump. In practice, this has largely entailed defiant rhetoric alongside significant concessions to Washington, including close <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/4590407\/sheinbaum-far-right-trump-us-mexico-tensions\/\">cooperation<\/a> in lethal operations against drug cartels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Relations with Trump have also waxed and waned in Brazil, with early battles over free speech, made worse by one of the country\u2019s top judges battling with Elon Musk\u2019s X. Tensions have likewise dissipated in recent months with increased dialogue.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-an-opening-for-the-shield-of-the-americas\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">An opening for the Shield of the Americas<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has significantly revamped the United States\u2019s relationship with Latin America during his second term, becoming more assertive aside from what\u2019s colloquially known as the \u201cDonroe Doctrine.\u201d The U.S. has become much more assertive in its dealings with its southern neighbors, asserting its right to intervene in what it considers to be its own hemisphere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was best seen in Operation Absolute Resolve in January, when Delta Force commanders captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro from the heart of Caracas after months of military threats and a blockade. Cuba has since been the subject of a similar blockade, and fears of further military operations have grown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Institutionally, Trump has moved to cement the right-wing wave with the creation of a hemisphere-wide effort to form an alliance of like-minded nations. In March, he created an alliance called the Shield of the Americas, composed of right-wing or right-of-center governments. It is intended to provide support for right-wing governments throughout the continent, especially regarding matters of illegal immigration, organized crime, and terrorism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4576724\/us-denounce-attempted-coup-bolivia-left-wing-strikes\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"4576724\">US DENOUNCES ATTEMPTED \u2018COUP\u2019 IN BOLIVIA AFTER LEFT-WING STRIKERS PARALYZE COUNTRY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has forged close relationships with members of the alliance, such as Milei and El Salvador\u2019s Nayib Bukele. The U.S. has directly joined Ecuador\u2019s open war against organized crime and drug cartels, carrying out joint military operations with the government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fujimori\u2019s victory in Peru has solidified the certainty of a right-wing wave across Latin America, just three years after the entire region was under left-wing rule.
