The United States consistently opts for Brazil when crafting its regional roadmap, but Lula da Silva approached China and Russia, in addition to likening the Israeli government to Nazi Germany for its offensive in Gaza.

In this geopolitical context, Joseph Biden believes that Milei could replace Lula in a scenario conditioned by Beijing’s offensive, the activity of terrorist groups operating in the Middle East, and social and economic instability.

Blinken will meet with Milei “to reaffirm shared interests and expand cooperation in trade, critical minerals, human rights, and security,” states the press release issued by the Department of State last night.
