Echoing Trump, Latin America’s Leaders Boost Allies Across Borders

New political leaders are emerging in Latin American countries. These leaders are often from the right-wing. They are very open about who they support. They help their friends, who are called allies, in other countries. They do this during elections, when people vote for new leaders. They might cheer loudly for their friends. They also say good things about them to everyone.

At the same time, these leaders speak strongly against their political rivals. Rivals are the people running against their friends in the elections. They sometimes use insults, which are not kind words. They also talk about "wokismo," which is a term some use to criticize modern progressive ideas. This means they openly share their opinions about other countries' politics.

This behavior is similar to how Donald Trump acted when he was a leader. He also publicly supported people he liked in other countries. Now, more leaders in Latin America are doing this. They are actively involved in the elections of other nations in the region. This is a new and open way for leaders to interact across borders.
