Bolsonaro breaks historical prejudices and makes Brazil a key US ally

Jair Bolsonaro he feels that he broke the preconceptions: he made a historic state visit to Washington D.C. where in addition to interviewing alone with Donald Trump to seal strategic agreements, he innovated with regional genetics to look with suspicion and even blame the world's leading power. He willingly agreed to walk on the red carpet offered to him.

He did it with his particular style: jumping diplomatic protocol, almost always smiling and doing what his will dictated. He was invited to rest in the Blair House, in front of White House, a privilege that few world leaders have access to. He even visited Langley, Virginia, the offices of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is something unthinkable for any regional leader seeking the condescension of the Latin American intellectual establishment.

The same trip as for Bolsonaro he was offered in the seed of his mandate to Mauricio Macri. The States United, during the administration of Barack Obama, had seen in the Argentine leader the man capable of occupying the role of strategic ally in Latin America. The antagonist of chavismo in decadence. However, the precarious economic moment has come out of the game.

During his tour, Bolsonaro and Trump they have established a great deal to fight against the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela The Brazilian president has thus become the main ally of the States United to reverse Chavismo. Even if he did not exclude – as he repeatedly denied until a few hours ago – a possible military intervention in his neighboring country. "Some issues, if disclosed, cease to be strategic. So these issues, if discussed, can not be disclosed. Some measures can not be made public"he said when asked this alternative.

But not only that: he also promised to fight two other international threats, those that represent Iran and China, although in different areas, Latin America.

In return Bolsonaro he succeeded to White House Promote your country as an additional ally of NATO. This would allow him to have a special status that opens the door to delivery of surplus items for the defense and coordination of joint maneuvers. For its part, Trump He got a much needed contribution from his Brazilian counterpart. The United States can launch satellites from a base located at Alcântara in Maranhão It will be a trade deal that will translate into millions of dollars for Brazilwithout renouncing its sovereignty or airspace, as indicated.

Could the same agreement be maintained at the same time with other countries that intend to carry out similar types of tests without the US government being able to oppose them? The same contract had been rejected several times by both Lula da Silva as for Dilma Rousseff. New winds

Trump and Bolsonaro They shared a working meeting and lunch, after which they showed themselves to the press and sent reciprocal compliments. In addition to progress in the areas of security and science, they have also planned a plan to increase bilateral trade. As expected, even the possibility of relaxing tourist visas was discussed, which Brazil He has already done so by eliminating this requirement a few hours ago. John Bolton, advisor White House for Questions of National security, He said "proud" of the agreements reached and called Brazil "a new and strong strategic partner"

Brazil and United States "they have never been so closesaid Trump after meeting with his South American counterpart. Has the last decade been marked by repeated impoliteness on the part of the Latin giant in tune with the wave of chavats that has infected many of the regional caudillos.

In addition, Brazil has a lot of support from Trump join the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which would increase its trading level around the world and could signify a big leap forward in its economic and social momentum. "I support your efforts to join", summed up the North American president when he was consulted on the possible candidacy of the Latin American country to the forum.

If your income is positive, OECD, Brazil he will be able to defend his point of view with greater power in an organization bringing together 36 countries with the richest economies. This could give you a greater presence in the Bank World or in the Funds Monetary Internationale (IMF), a key location for granting credit.

Leaving the country, Bolsonaro He was pleased with what he thought was a historic, but above all strategic summit. "We leave the United States with the feeling of mission accomplished. We will cooperate for the good of our people"He did so knowing that his tour could have scandalized the most progressive sector of politics. Brasilia. Who prefers to turn his back Washington for more skin problems than rational ones. But it is also the sector that interests the least the Brazilian president.
