TalkOnPointHow do The News Agents assess Trump’s effect on allies’ elections?
The News Agents discuss Trump’s backing as electorally mixed rather than automatically helpful. They say his influence helped opposition forces in Brazil and Serbia, and note that Bolsonaro and Orbán lost after Trump backed them. In Brazil, one host says Trump’s intervention gave Lula a platform to tell him to back off and portray Bolsonaro’s son as a tool of the U.S. presidency.
Direct answer

In Brazil, they say Trump’s intervention gave Lula a way to frame Bolsonaro’s son as a tool of the U.S. presidency. But Nadav Eyal says Trump’s renewed support could still help Netanyahu by making him look viable despite poor polls.
