Lula participa de cúpula do Mercosul no Paraguai em meio a guinada à direita

President Lula is participating in the 68th Mercosur Heads of State Summit, held in Asunción, Paraguay, at a time of political transformations in Latin America. The bloc is meeting under the impact of a recent rightward shift in the region, where 11 of the last 14 presidential elections have been won by conservative parties. The meeting also takes place amidst priority discussions on coordinating humanitarian aid and relief for victims of the double earthquake that devastated Venezuela. Ibmec professor of international relations, Gustavo Macedo, analyzed the current geopolitical scenario faced by the bloc. The debate highlighted how the instability and tariff policy adopted by the Donald Trump administration in the United States have driven Mercosur countries to diversify their trading partners and accelerate the implementation phases of the agreement with the European Union, as well as advance negotiations with Asian markets, such as Japan and Singapore, focusing on the export of agricultural commodities and strategic minerals such as rare earth elements. 🚨Subscribe to the channel and activate the bell to receive all our content!
