Could the increased tendency for United States intervention in LAC be damper on investment?
While it seems unlikely for bombs to fall on data centers in Argentina, the likelihood for inter-state conflict in the region seems to have gone up rather than down since 2025
It's true that, while LAC countries don't go to war with one another, the U.S. has been quicker to intervene militarily in the region. Certainly could be a risk factor, but I think the potential use of force is likely to be constrained to Cuba and maybe Nicaragua these days, which aren't the countries likely to attract large investments.
Agree the probability of armed conflict has gone up everywhere, but that's relative to a lower baseline than in other areas. In relative terms I think LAC still comes out looking better.
