Lula wins historic fourth term in Brazil

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won a historic fourth term on Sunday, according to the country's electoral court, defeating opposition candidate Flávio Bolsonaro in a shock result that defied polls and global anti-incumbent sentiment, the Korea Times reports. The victory provides relief to critics of widening U.S. influence in Latin America, as Lula is a vocal critic of President Donald Trump. Left-leaning leaders across the Americas congratulated Lula on social media, while Brazilian markets were set for a sharp sell-off on Monday after the result upended investor bets on a right-wing victory and put Lula's fiscal plans in focus. Korean President Lee Jae Myung congratulated Lula on Monday, writing, "I congratulate you on your victory with greater pleasure than anyone," according to the Korea Times and KBS World.
