Episode Details

Lula da Silva, Brazil’s 80-year-old president, is running for reelection for the seventh time, rallying support with promises to strengthen defense, protect natural resources, and boost trade—while dodging foreign interference. His campaign’s populist tax cuts and debt relief are winning hearts, and his surprising frosty tone toward Trump adds intrigue. Amid rising tensions with the U.S.—including new tariffs and terror designations—Lula’s camp fiercely defends national sovereignty, leaning into ties with China. With Argentina’s Milei stirring controversy by attacking Lula and Bolsonaro’s conviction, this election could reshape Latin America’s political future.
