Brazil-U.S. Relations

Abstract

On January 1, 2007, Luis In cio Lula da Silva, of the leftist Workers Party (PT), was inaugurated for a second four-year term as President of Brazil. Lula was re-elected in the second round of voting with fairly broad popular support. His immediate tasks were to boost Brazil's lagging economic growth and address the issues of crime, violence, and poverty. Despite President Lula's personal popularity, many predicted that intra-party rivalries within his governing coalition would make it hard for him to push his agenda through Brazil's notoriously fractured legislature.
