Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and President Joe Biden met in Washington this week. But whatever they discussed, the top of their agenda should be filled by a push for collaboration on energy production, the prevention of deforestation, and countering China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

Furthermore, Brazil is home to the largest portion of the Amazon rainforest, the lungs of the Earth. The U.S. has a vested interest in helping Brazil navigate the economic opportunities it has to gain from reducing the pace of deforestation. As the country that founded the world’s first modern national parks system under the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, the U.S. has had a long history of championing the environment without unduly encumbering innovators in the private sector.

If the U.S. does not seize the opportunity to improve environmental, diplomatic, and commercial ties with Brazil, others will step into the void. Indeed, they have done so already. For many years now, China, not the U.S., has been Brazil’s top trading partner. Yet China does not look to Brazil as an equal to be treated with respect for long-term bilateral diplomatic gains.

The U.S. and Brazil have much in common as democracies and the largest countries on their respective continents of a shared hemisphere. Both are home to huge marketplaces, and both have recently struggled with serious challenges to their democratic institutions. We have many opportunities that are best served together.

The Communist in DC & Brazil are cutting down millions of trees that cool the earth and installing millions of Chinese made solar panels.

The 'climate' agenda was fomented to give Western Communists a new platform after the Berlin wall was torn down and the USSR dismantled. It is about creating and mandating new taxes to line the pockets of the inmates who run the anglobalist asylum. No more, no less.

No, Brazil's WEF stooge just stole their election.

With a medical apartheid dictator , no thanks

Nope 👎🏾

Brazil needs to overcome their pseudo-maga bolsonaro problems first

😡😡😡
