The United States is trying to enter the Brazilian elections, seeing the candidacy of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) as a fertile path for its strategic interests. The threat also involves tariffs, applications of the Magnitsky Act and diplomatic pressure. All this while the president of the North American country, Donald Trump, finds himself cornered by public opinion, which disagrees with his actions in the Middle East and the migration policy of the current American administration.
What’s going on in the US, anyway? This was the topic of the conversation between Lucas Estanislau, journalism coordinator at Brazil in factand André Lucena, international reporter for BdFin an exclusive live broadcast held last Monday (7) for those who are part of the Brasil de Fato Members Club on YouTube.
Why did “sovereignty” become the word for good in Brazil?
For both, sovereignty gained even more strength in the Brazilian progressive camp due to the fact that Brazil is a direct target of Washington’s actions. Meanwhile, US and Israeli flags, as well as photographs of Trump himself, are raised at Bolsonarist events.
Tariff, sanctions on minister Alexandre de Moraes, threats to overthrow Pix, PCC and Comando Vermelho classified as “narco-terrorists”. The range of US actions against Brazil is wide. In the conversation, Brasil de Fato journalists point out that the measures are part of the Trump administration’s strategy to contain the advance of China’s economic power.
Domestically, Trump sees his government’s approval rating falling. For Estanislau and Lucena, this situation opens the door for the renewal of the Democratic Party in the country, which should have a direct influence on the mid-term elections, scheduled for November 3rd.
