Global Threat Outlook 2026: Latin America and the Caribbean

Latin America and the Caribbean operate as a pressure zone adjacent to U.S. and European enforcement power, where trade continues but exposure accumulates quietly. Rather than crisis or collapse, the defining condition is continuity under constraint. This installment of Global Threat Outlook 2026 examines how enforcement proximity, insurance behavior, ownership opacity, and networked intermediaries shape indirect risk across maritime, energy, commodities, and cross-border operations. The focus is not on individual events or jurisdictions, but on how exposure is produced, migrates, and is ultimately judged in practice.
