Brazil occupies almost half of the continent of South America and
is the fifth most populous country in the world. The United States
has traditionally enjoyed co-operative relations with Brazil, which
also is the seventh-largest economy in the world. United States
administration officials have often highlighted Brazil's status as
a multicultural democracy, referring to the country as a natural
partner that shares values and goals with the United States.
Bilateral ties have been strained from time to time, however, as
the countries' occasionally divergent national interests and
independent foreign policies have led to disagreements.
U.S.-Brazilian relations have been particularly strained over the
past year as a result of alleged National Security Agency (NSA)
activities inside Brazil. Nevertheless, the countries continue to
engage on issues such as trade, energy, security, racial equality,
and the environment. This book discusses Brazil's political and
economic situation, as well as their relations with the United
States. The book also provides Brazil's human rights report for
2013; the international religious freedom report for 2012; and the
investment climate statement for 2013.
