“Strategic Collaboration: Brazil, China, India, Russia, and the United States (U.S)”

Russia and China aim to challenge US hegemony and gain influence in previously US-dominated countries. One of these countries is Brazil. Historically, Brazil and the United States have relied heavily on stable partnerships. Russian and Chinese influence in Brazil could alter Brazilian aims and impact relations with the United States. This may have an impact on US interests in Brazil. The paper examines the impact of Russian and Chinese influence in Brazil on US national interests through diplomatic, informational, military, and economic means. The conclusion Russia is fanning tensions in Latin America, while China promotes economic competition with the US in the region. Both measures have implications for US interests in Brazil. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
