In the international arena, the new president, Dilma Roussef, has pulled back from Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva’s many excesses (indifference to human rights abuses, support for Iran and its nuclear program, and rhetorical anti-Americanism) during his last year in office, and may even have a present for Obama. Brazil has been mulling whom to pick to renew its Air Force’s fighter fleet, and, whereas Lula favored France, Roussel canceled that option and may be leaning toward the US.
