Last week in Latin America, Bolivia's political crisis reached a breaking point, Colombia delivered a decisive election result, and drug trafficking made headlines across three countries. After more than six weeks of road blockades that brought La Paz to a standstill, Bolivia's President Paz declared a nationwide state of emergency and deployed the military. In Colombia, a Trump-backed outsider won the presidential runoff. Brazil saw a major cocaine seizure and a conviction linked to the Bolsonaro family.
