CNN: US should go big on Brazil
By U.S. Senator Marco Rubio

On New Year’s Day, President Jair Bolsonaro was inaugurated in Brazil, ushering in a new era in Brazilian politics that marks a dramatic departure from the leftist, anti-American governments of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff. Our bilateral relationship improved under the administration of former President Michel Temer, and the new Bolsonaro government has already indicated it seeks an even closer security and economic relationship with the United States.
For the peace and stability of the region, it is crucial that the United States capitalize on this historic opportunity to bring closer together the two most populous nations in the Western Hemisphere.
A strong, vibrant and democratic Brazil that is more closely aligned with the United States as a strategic partner can be a force multiplier in addressing the ongoing crisis in Venezuela (where governance has deteriorated and there is widespread corruption), and in countering the malign intentions of authoritarian regimes like China, Russia and Iran that intend to expand their presence and activities in Latin America.
The Trump administration should move quickly to advance goals that would be welcomed by the Bolsonaro government, such as bolstering our defense and intelligence ties, increasing investment in trade, cooperation in the energy sector, supporting Brazil’s ascension to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, expanding US access to Brazil’s space industry, and additional cooperation against terrorism and transnational criminal networks.

RUBIO: BOLSONARO ABRE UNA OPORTUNIDAD PARA LA COOPERACIÓN CON EE.UU.
Bolsonaro abre una oportunidad para la cooperación con EE.UU.
enero 29 del 2019
Por: senador estadounidense Marco Rubio
CNN en Español
En el día de Año Nuevo, el presidente Jair Bolsonaro tomó posesión del cargo en Brasilia, para abrir en la política brasileña una nueva era que marca un dramático apartamiento de la era de los gobiernos antiestadounidenses de izquierda de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva y Dilma Rousseff. Nuestra relación bilateral mejoró bajo el anterior gobierno del presidente Michel Temer, y el nuevo gobierno de Bolsonaro ya ha indicado que buscará una relación más cercana con Estados Unidos en temas económicos y de seguridad.
Para la paz y estabilidad de la región, es crucial que EE.UU. le saque el máximo provecho a esta oportunidad histórica para acercar a estas dos naciones en el hemisferio occidental.
Un Brasil fuerte, vibrante y democrático más alineado con EE.UU. como aliado estratégico puede ser una fuerza multiplicadora al abordar la crisis en curso en Venezuela (donde el gobierno se ha deteriorado y hay corrupción masiva), y para contrarrestar las intenciones malignas de regímenes autoritarios como los de China, Rusia e Irán, que pretenden expandir su presencia y actividades en América Latina.
El gobierno de Trump debería moverse rápidamente para avanzar los objetivos que serían bien recibidos por el gobierno de Bolsonaro, como apuntalar nuestros lazos de inteligencia y de defensa, aumentar la inversión en comercio, la cooperación en el sector energético, apoyar la ascensión de Brasil a la Organización para la Cooperación y Desarrollo Económicos, expandir el acceso de EE.UU. a la industria espacial de Brasil, y la cooperación adicional contra el terrorismo y las redes criminales transnacionales.
