Annual Latinobarometro survey finds views of China’s influence improving as perceptions of US influence worsen.
Not so long ago, Washington’s approach to relations with Beijing was anchored by a single assertive phrase: dealing “from a position of strength”. It was rooted in a unipolar mindset: a belief that the United States could dictate terms, manage competition unilaterally and demand compliance from a distance. Yet, at their recent summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump formally established a new strategic framework: a “constructive strategic stability relationship based...

O presidente dos Estados Unidos (EUA), Donald Trump, afirmou nesta quinta-feira (1º) que acompanha "muito de perto" as eleições brasileiras, que ocorrerão daqui a três dias, em 1º turno. A declaração foi dada em resposta à pergunta de uma jornalista, na saída da Casa Branca, antes do presidente norte-americano embarcar em uma aeronave para o Texas. "Estou acompanhando [as eleições] muito de perto. O Brasil é um país muito importante. É um grande país. As pessoas no Brasil são fantásticas. É uma eleição muito importante", disse Trump, sem citar nomes ou declaração de apoio a nenhum concorrente, como já fez recentemente em outras eleições presidenciais, como a da Colômbia. A fala do líder estadunidense ocorre em meio a tensões recentes entre os governos brasileiro e norte-americano e a preocupações no Brasil sobre possível interferência estrangeira no processo eleitoral. Em setembro, relatório da Agência Brasileira de Inteligência (Abin) apontou risco de influência ou interferência dos Estados Unidos nas eleições de 2026. No documento, a inteligência brasileira classifica a possibilidade de interferência externa com um "nível de criticidade" e contextualiza o problema dizendo que "a reafirmação da hegemonia dos EUA na América Latina” é prioridade do segundo governo do presidente norte-americano Donald Trump. Segundo a Abin, o objetivo seria afastar ‘rivais dos EUA’, como a China, de ativos estratégicos, riquezas naturais e infraestruturas na região. A avaliação da Abin indica ainda que houve intensificação das ações dos Estados Unidos em relação ao Brasil ao longo dos últimos meses. Além da ingerência nas eleições, o Brasil vem sendo alvo de medidas econômicas e políticas prejudiciais aos interesses nacionais. Em julho, o governo brasileiro negou visto a dois funcionários do Departamento de Estado dos EUA que pretendiam conversar com autoridades eleitorais brasileira sobre liberdade de expressão relacionada às eleições. A visita ocorreria depois de eventos envolvendo políticos que questionaram as urnas eletrônicas. Especialistas ouvidos pela Agência Brasil avaliaram riscos associados a possíveis ações cibernéticas e à atuação de grandes plataformas digitais.
