The unexpected resignation of Paraguayan President Santiago Peña, a key ally of the U.S. Trump administration, has introduced new uncertainties in the political landscape of South America. Peña’s departure came after the seizure of Ueno Bank, which led to significant protests and a unanimous impeachment vote in Paraguay’s lower house. This development is seen as a setback for U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who had endorsed Peña as a regional model. The incident reflects broader challenges for Trump-aligned figures in the region, with similar political shifts observed in Brazil.
