To secure USA support for UNSC, Brasil will need at least one full administration period of stable and mature policy on world security following the 'off the wall' announcements and perverse actions of the Brasilian president during the last two administrations.

President Obama is most welcome.
I hope he is prepared to go up against his own vested interests (the oil lobby and their industries) and, for the greater good, listens hard to Cabral on the ethanol tariff issue.
To claw back some 'sphere of influence' Obama must be strong enough to give if he needs to get.
