thebalanced.newsUS Negotiates Critical Minerals Deal with Brazil Amid Diplomatic Tensions
The United States is negotiating a federal-level critical minerals supply chain deal with Brazil amid diplomatic tensions. Brazilian officials withdrew from a U.S.-sponsored forum following a dispute over a U.S. envoy's barred prison visit to ex-President Jair Bolsonaro. The U.S. signed a separate agreement with Goias state, led by a political opponent of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, causing frustration in Brazil's federal government. Talks continue, with potential for significant U.S. investment to reduce reliance on Chinese mineral supply chains.
