The relationship between Brazil and the United States remains one of the most relevant in the Western Hemisphere, both due to the economic and political weight of both countries and the direct impact of Washington's decision-making dynamics on sensitive issues for Brazil, such as trade, investment, energy, and environmental policy. The actions of Congress, the Executive Branch, think tanks, and other American institutional actors shape United States foreign policy and affect, directly or indirectly, Brazilian strategic options.

In this context, the contemporary international environment is marked by the intensification of geopolitical competition, structural transformations in the global economy, the worsening of the climate agenda, and recurring debates on democratic governance and regional security. In this scenario, decisions made in Washington carry additional weight, especially on the American continent, where the United States has been reaffirming historical strategic interests.
