With Lula, Brazil is in a Position of Strength (legrandcontinent.eu)

• Brazil pushes for expanding G7 to G20 to include China in trade talks.
• Brazil leverages its clean energy matrix to attract investment and assert sovereignty.
• Brazil did not retaliate against US tariffs, demonstrating strategic patience.

"Brazil champions multilateralism and seeks to expand G7 talks to the G20, leveraging its clean energy matrix (90%+ renewable) as a geopolitical asset. It refuses automatic alignment with the US, China, or Europe. Brazil aims to industrialize critical minerals rather than export raw materials, welcoming foreign investment but insisting on sovereignty. It did not retaliate against US tariffs, showing patience. Lula is a strong leader. Brazil supports UN reform and regulates tech giants, with a robust electoral authority to counter foreign interference."
