The return of Trump-era policies is reshaping Latin America’s economic and political landscape. From tariff turmoil in Mexico & Brazil to critical mineral shifts in Chile and Argentina, businesses operating in the region must prepare for potential disruptions and opportunities.
To help corporate diplomats—public affairs professionals, government relations teams, and risk managers—navigate this uncertain terrain, we’ve developed a heat map within the Genie T2 System* to decipher the high-risk and high-opportunity areas across LATAM.

Here's how to leverage this resource effectively across different use cases.
Before diving into applications, it's important to understand the map's key components:
The heat map quantifies policy risks, helping businesses anticipate and mitigate threats such as tariffs, regulatory changes, and deportation waves.
Example: Consider a manufacturing company with operations in Mexico. The heat map shows high-likelihood impacts across USMCA enforcement, steel tariffs, and fentanyl-related security measures. By connecting these dots, you can:
For those developing corporate strategy, the heat map helps you spot emerging opportunities and risks, enabling better-informed decisions about market entry, expansion, or repositioning.
Example: For energy sector investments in Argentina, the heat map reveals strong policy support for fossil fuel development in Vaca Muerta shale. This helps you:
For those managing government relations on the ground, engaging key stakeholders ahead of regulatory changes is crucial to securing or retaining your license to operate.
Example: In Chile's lithium sector, the map shows increasing tension between economic opportunities and environmental concerns. This guides your engagement by:
For those in public affairs, the heat map helps you anticipate sensitive issues and prepare stakeholder communications ahead of policy changes.
Example: For mining operations in Peru, the heat map shows the intersection of labour concerns and Indigenous rights with China's decoupling policies. This enables you to:
In an era of rapid policy shifts and geopolitical uncertainty, staying informed is absolutely critical.
The risk assessments, stakeholder mappings, and policy impact analysis outlined in this post can be automated within the TSC system. Instead of manually tracking political shifts, trade disruptions, or regulatory risks, Genie T2* continuously scans global data sources, detects patterns, and generates actionable insights in real-time.
This means you can:
✅ Proactively monitor policy risks without endless research
✅ Automate stakeholder engagement strategies based on shifting influence dynamics
✅ Identify business opportunities before competitors do
