Recent tensions between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Argentine President Javier Milei have impacted the elections in Brazil. According to various analyses, these external interferences have served to reinforce the nationalist discourse of Lula da Silva, who is seeking reelection in the country.

This context increases political polarization in Brazil, where Lula faces opposition from the Bolsonaro clan. Analysts believe that this environment could favor the current president in the electoral context.
