Eric Farnsworth, Vice President of the Council of the Americas, has produced a special report for the October issue of Poder Magazine called Brazil Rising. In it Farnsworth says that the next US administration should necessarily work with the South American nation on matters such as trade negotiations, energy security and even Iran’s nuclear program.
“Virtually all the economic news coming out of Brazil these days is positive, and Brazil’s global weight has dramatically increased as a result. The largest economy in South America and now the world’s 10th largest, Brazil’s emergence as a middle-income BRIC nation, with powerful growth rates driven by the global commodities boom, have repositioned Brazil as a global actor”, he said. Here is a recent clip he also produced talking about Brazil:
