DAY 4 | São Paulo 🇧🇷🇺🇸

São Paulo is the operational center of the Brazil-US relationship. Day 4 of our congressional delegation brought that into focus, InvestSP, the SP Public Prosecutor’s Office, and private sector voices from mining, agriculture, and critical minerals.

Day 3 with our U.S. congressional staff delegation in Brasília: civil society, Congress, the Supreme Court, Itamaraty, and Federal Police. The value of bringing U.S. congressional staff to Brazil is not just access. It is context.

DAY 2 | Brasília 🇧🇷🇺🇸
From the US Embassy to the Presidency, Ministry of Mines and Energy, critical minerals conversations, and dinner on state capacity with Francisco Gaetani, Sergio Xavier and Guilherme Almeida, a full day on where the Brazil-U.S. agenda can get more concrete.

Lula’s core economic problem is household financial stress. Low unemployment and higher aggregate wages have not translated into a stronger sense of well-being because many Brazilians remain squeezed by debt, high interest costs, and the growing impact of online betting.

If you want to understand Brazil, you have to understand Congress. Looking forward to speaking with @tabataamaralsp about political renewal, the tensions shaping Brazilian politics, and the realities of leading as a woman in positions of power. https://t.co/d9Vs6rxcM7
