What Brazil and the world await from the next president?

Lula da Silva may lose Emmanuel Macron as an ally, while Flávio Bolsonaro could strengthen ties with Trump. The next Brazilian president faces urgent foreign policy challenges, including rebuilding relations with the U.S., navigating competition between Washington and Beijing, and coordinating regional politics. Experts emphasize the importance of convincing the U.S. that Brazil is not a rival. China's investment in Brazil is increasing, while U.S. investments are declining. Economic forecasts for Brazil suggest weakening growth, rising unemployment, and persistent inflation due to various domestic and global factors.
