Relations between Joe Biden and Jair Bolsonaro, the president of Brazil, are likely to be strained

, after WikiLeaks revealed that the United States’ National Security Agency had bugged the phone of Dilma Rousseff, then Brazil’s president, Joe Biden called to apologise. A year later the American vice-president went to Brazil for a World Cup football match bearing a gift: declassified documents shedding light on abuses by Brazil’s military dictatorship of 1964-85. Ms Rousseff had herself been tortured.

Latin America has changed since his vice-presidency. Weak economic growth has undermined the region’s self-confidence. The pandemic has killed 541,000 people in Latin America and the Caribbean, second only to the death toll in Europe, and caused the worst economic slump in more than a century. The corrupt are winning the war on corruption. Anger at a broken social contract has led to unrest and the election of populist presidents.

Bidenworld thinks it wrongheaded to confine democracy promotion to three countries. It shares the pre-Trump consensus that the neighbourhood’s stability depends on the rule of law, a strong civil society and fairer capitalism. It will seek more humane ways to control migration than bullying governments to block migrants as they pass through their countries.

Mr Biden will resume the fight for better governance. American ambassadors will press governments to appoint honest judges and officials. Mr Biden’s administration may propose the establishment of an anti-graft agency for all of Central America, which would support prosecutors and attorneys-general but be less intrusive than. One lesson of Mr Trump’s successful bullying over migration is that the United States has great leverage in the region.

So, no global warming anymore? LOL. How about fighting the sun set. Imagine how much could be saved if the governments would win this battle. 😂😂😂

Tough titties.

Has anyone bothered to understand people have little control on climate change unless they are willing to stope using cars and planes as form of transportation, hanging clothes on the lines, washing by hand, dishwashing by hand, maybe cooking over fire place. . .so on. Get real.

Presidents answers by country Mexico and Chile - Yes Sir! Brazil - Investing in renewable energy will turn you into a lizard Argentina - I have no idea what you are saying Venezuela - let’s produce more oil!

USA, um dos maiores poluidores do mundo e com baixo índice de florestas naturais, não tem moral alguma para falar em sustentabilidade.

welcom mr. jo

The end of Bolsonaro is soon! jairbolsonaro

Bei den Bayern geht noch was.

Recently? They basically invented populism.

It is just a lever for keeping Latam in their pockets... US is not what we call an example in climate change matters.

Whilst China takes Taiwan.

And not in a good way!

Hopefully in the right direction of peace and prosperity! South America needs help in their stride for positive change and it's in USA's benefit to have neighboring countries that are stable economically and politically. To stop immigration and stimulate trading.

😁 He Will Bring democracy to Brazil.

The Brazilian president, a reserve army captain, now has under his command a bunch of colonoles and generals. Some of these white haired generals are State Ministers. They embraced ethe 'yes, sir' behavior and have been unable to stop his genocidal attitude during the pandemic,

Yea .. fascist leader sucks

Kin Jong-Un will probably make Joe Biden very busy for him to try it. And so Iran.

Populism flourished in Brazil in the wake of Trump's election. Bolsonaro's past is not known in the world.. When serving the army as a captain he planned do place bombs in installations in order to enforce a raise on military sallaries. He was expelled from the army in dishonor.

Bolsonaro es un cancer

Bolsonaro is a fucking monster. Biden is doing Brazil a favor.

Great.

Ya think? Gee, why?

If he remembers what it is

That's because Bolsinaro is nutz.

Relations between the Brazilian president and Biiden will not be strained, they just wont exist. Bolsonaro is a populist like Trump, only more bizarre: he staged an exhibition in the government palace of the suit and dress that he and his wife wore on their innauguration day.

Not before he breaks North America.

Really? Go figure!

....yeah, so what ? Brazil is on the verge of bankruptcy and defaulting on all of their obligations. Sad for the Brazilian people ...not so much for Bolsonaro !!!

Will President Joe Biden keep the promises that candidate Joe Biden made to immigrants?Biden's boss Barack Obama was called the 'Deporter in Chief.' Immigrants and their advocates want to see what the new president does on immigration reform. No, Biden for sure will go the way of Macron. They claimed change to win office but we've seen both of their pasts. I'm already seeing some of it with the 8 Year immigration plan and his appointees rejecting the caravan. President Joe Biden doesn't even remember being candidate Joe Biden........ The man thought he was running for Senate.

Biden says 'America Is Back,' but 'America First' has haunted his first 100 daysPresident Joe Biden's message to the world has been loud and clear: Donald Trump's 'America First' isolationism is over. But the specter of Trump is already haunting Biden's mission to reengage with the world and lead it once again. angeladewan lukemcgee Biden has been in the limelight of public service all of his life. He's made a career out of being a Washington politician. POTUS Biden's bringing about systemic & transformative change. He came into public life as a Senator. & now he's going out w/ a bang. Done & seen it all! angeladewan lukemcgee Biden is spending like a drunken sailor. The vast majority of his new spending is payoffs to Big Bold donors & connected insiders. It's hard to believe, but Biden is worse than Trump. angeladewan lukemcgee Joe is killing it, he’s progressive, he’s got a plan, he listens and gets it, massive empathy. That’s my opinion from Australia, but he’s put American values back on the world stage, he’s leading, unlike the last 4 years of divisive politics and chaos

I kept wondering why I wasn’t happier than I thought I would be when Trump finally slunk away on Marine One. It’s that our lives have been shattered by a two-bit, petty, wannabe dictator, and, instead of being joyous, I feel like crying.
