Brazil and the United States: On a Collision Course?

Authors

Abstract

The text traces Brazil-U.S. relations from imperial-era distance to an asymmetrical partnership, and later to bids for autonomy during the Cold War and after 1985. It argues that under Trump's second administration, the relationship became a collision, driven by political interference and tariffs. In this scenario, Brazil should, in collaboration with other middle powers, work to strengthen multilateralism.
