The Brazilian government has kept relatively quiet in the face of Trump’s efforts to dominate the hemisphere. The truth, however, is that Trump and the current Brazilian regime are natural enemies. Brazil has a large population, extensive business ties with China, and a left-leaning leader who displaced Trump’s ideological twin. Can the uneasy peace last?
I don’t think so. Expect Brazil to become vocally anti-Trump in the near future. How far will Trump go to put an end to the unwelcome dissent in his backyard? TBD.
