LIMA — Peru’s Congress has voted by a wide margin to reopen impeachment proceedings against President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, thrusting the nation into renewed political turmoil as it prepares to host President Trump at a summit less than a month away.

It’s the second time lawmakers have threatened to remove the former Wall Street investor over his ties to the Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht, which is at the heart of Latin America’s biggest corruption scandal.

In December, Kuczynski narrowly avoided being voted out of office after a small faction, including the son of former President Alberto Fujimori, abstained. Days later, Kuczynski pardoned Fujimori from a 25-year jail term for human rights abuses committed during his decade-long rule.

But analysts say Kuczynski’s chances of survival look slimmer this time. The deeply unpopular president has become increasingly isolated as one-time allies abandon him and polls show a majority of Peruvians want Kuczynski out.
