In Brazil’s upcoming presidential election, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will face his right-wing challenger and Donald Trump ally, Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro.

The election raised questions about U.S. influence, tariffs, organized crime and Brazil’s sovereignty.
