N2 - Analysts have been cautiously optimistic about future US-Brazil relations. Nonetheless, with Trump out of the game, it will be increasingly difficult for Bolsonaro to consolidate his US-Brazil strategic dreams along ideological lines. A stumbling block in the US-Brazil relationship will be Bolsonaro’s untamed ideology and Trump-like tweets, setting the scene for friction. This will become problematic for Biden when dealing with the Brazilian president’s posturing on environmental protections and human rights, in particular the rights of Brazil’s first peoples. These issues all continue to deteriorate under the Bolsonaro administration, and are seen as key policy areas for Biden.
