منذ توليه للمنصب، أصبح presidente Trump مُلكًا انتخابيًا في America اللاتينية، حيث فاز المرشحون اليمينيون المقاركون بواشنغطن بسبعة انتخابات متتالية في المنطقة. وصرّح Mr. Trump صراحة بدعم الفائزين في مسابقتين من هذه المسابقات.الآن ت comes Biggest Regional Test لليمين و—for Mr. Trump's record of success: Brazil. As Brazilians prepare to head to the polls, the question looming over Latin America's largest democracy is whether Mr. Trump will try to influence its presidential election next month. The American leader has not openly championed any Brazilian candidate, but the Trump administration has in more subtle ways lifted the right-wing challenger, Flávio Bolsonaro, who is running against President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a leftist.

Brazil is erecting a firewall to try to shield its high-stakes vote from potential U.S. meddling. The efforts include monitoring foreign lobbying and disinformation, fighting false claims about electoral fraud and enlisting the support of countries in Europe, Asia and elsewhere. The concern for many in Brazil is that, in a narrow contest where polls show Mr. Bolsonaro and Mr. Lula practically tied, a helping hand from Mr. Trump could tip the scales in the challenger's favor.الكيانات الرئيسية: الأشخاص: Donald Trump, Flávio Bolsonaro, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Gilmar Mendes | المواقع: Brazil, Latin America.
