Report Summary
This weekly report provides a comprehensive analysis of critical events, emerging threats, and significant developments across our global watchlist countries. Our Geopolitical & Security Analysis Teams continuously monitor and assess incidents affecting regional stability, security, and business operations.
Key Global Concerns:
- Rising authoritarianism and democratic backsliding in Argentina and El Salvador threaten institutional stability in Latin America.
- Record gang violence and state collapse in Haiti raise alarms over regional security spillover and humanitarian disaster.
- U.S. tariff escalation under President Trump disrupts global trade flows, straining relations with Brazil, Mexico, Asia-Pacific, and parts of Africa.
- Drone warfare intensifies in Ukraine, with Russia launching over 700 drones in a single night—the largest aerial attack of the war.
- Iran-Israel conflict aftermath remains uncertain as regional actors await clarity on the extent of Iran's nuclear program setbacks.
- Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping and hostage-taking tactics reignite maritime security risks and threaten global supply chains.
- Hezbollah-Israel skirmishes in southern Lebanon risk wider conflict escalation in the Levant.
- Civil war in Myanmar and coordinated attacks in Pakistan’s Balochistan highlight unresolved insurgencies and humanitarian vulnerabilities in Asia.
- U.S. visa and trade restrictions on African nations spark diplomatic pushback and raise concerns over educational and economic fallout.
- Regional push for strategic infrastructure control, seen in Peru's stance on the Brazil-China railway and Serbia’s clash with the U.S. over tariffs, reflects intensifying global competition for influence.
