It was in this context, two days after the end of the British summit, that Trump displayed his letter to Lula, which was a victory for the inner circle of Bolsonaro. Earlier this year, the son of former president Eduardo, a member of the congress, moved to the United States to put full-time pressure in the name of his father. He didn’t seem much of these efforts to the top of the Brics. Indeed, it would be the meeting in Rio who prompted Trump to act at the request of his begging – a lively reminder of the president’s trend to mix decisions of heavy geopolitical consequences with the personal whim.
Trump did not mention Brics in his letter to Lula, but his acolytes quickly tried to film the various messages sent. Republican senator Eric Schmitt told Politico that “BRICS are a problem and I am happy that [Trump’s] remedy it squarely. It is an effort from other countries to undermine the United States of America and, frankly, our allies. This is a strange declaration, given that a number of members of the BRICS are themselves American allies, including India and Saudi Arabia.
Most of the world rejects this binary choice, as well as the self -proclaimed authority of Washington to issue such ultimatums. Residents of other countries are generally faster to recognize American hypocrisy than US officials should not recognize. (The United States, which is home to the Alligator Alcatraz, is not in place recently to give conferences to other countries on concentration camps.) While the BRICS block is gradually consolidating as a viable alternative to the world order led by the United States, with its own infrastructure intervention, to react. Will he adapt to a multipolar order that he cannot fully control or insist on increasingly energetic displays of raw power?
The answer is obvious to Steve Bannon, Maga’s main anti-world, who said Brazil could easily solve his problem: “If you put the test and abandon the charges, the prices disappear.” When he was asked how this political approach – which deals with prices and sanctions – was led by extortion, he pointed out that “it’s Maga, baby … it’s a new courageous world”. Indeed, Trump and his servants demand that the legal system of the largest nation in Latin America, the fourth greatest democracy in the world, makes its offers or would undergo the consequences, in particular, a potential economic calamity which would impoverish millions of Brazilians. In addition, by addressing his letter to Lula, Trump implies that the Director General must be the one who has broken the institutional order of Brazil, even if the main complaints of the letter concerned the decisions of the judiciary.
