🇧🇷 Brazil Vote Puts Trade At Stake

Brazil’s presidential runoff will shape U.S.-Brazil relations, according to Reuters. The race pits Senator Flavio Bolsonaro against incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The report says tariffs and minerals are at stake, and that experts see risks in both candidates’ approaches to Washington.

This is a reminder that strategic minerals and tariff policy are now leverage points, not just trade issues. When a major Latin American power swings between competing models, Washington sells stability while the region absorbs the pressure and the spillover.
