Colombia’s presidential runoff on 21 June saw Abelardo de la Espriella narrowly defeat Ivan Cepeda, with the result contested. Mexico’s CNTE teachers’ union ended a 20-day national strike that had disrupted World Cup preparations.

What are the impacts on businesses and individuals?
Businesses should anticipate trade policy uncertainty from the USMCA review, potential climate-related infrastructure impacts from El Niño, and extensive security requirements for the FIFA World Cup. The USMCA review could affect automotive, electronics, aerospace, agriculture, and logistics sectors. El Niño may increase energy demand, disrupt hydroelectric generation, and affect agriculture and fisheries. The World Cup will bring significant pressure on public transportation, domestic travel, and security. National celebrations will cause localized traffic disruptions and increased demand for hospitality. Individuals should monitor official advisories, allow extra travel time, and follow security instructions.
What should organisations and individuals do to prepare?
Organisations should monitor USMCA review outcomes, strengthen climate risk monitoring, diversify supply chains vulnerable to agricultural and fisheries disruptions, and review energy contingency plans. For the World Cup, secure transport and lodging well in advance, ensure all entry requirements are finalised, and adhere to strict security protocols including clear bag policies. For national celebrations, review business continuity plans, implement flexible work arrangements, and advise employees to avoid non-essential travel through celebration corridors. Individuals should maintain situational awareness in crowded areas, carry valid identification, and follow instructions from local authorities.
