Obama and Family in Brazil: Lots of Ceremony, Little Else
The governments of Brazil and the United States will sign ten documents - agreements, treaties and memorandums - as a result of the visit of Barack Obama.
The ten documents cover trade and economic cooperation (setting up a high-level commission on economic and commercial cooperation), air transportation, peaceful use of outer space, support for large sports events (the World Soccer Cup and the Olympic Games), research in biodiversity, development of a biofuel for aviation and technical cooperation with other countries.

He isn't just going for a vacation.

Thanks for the heads up. This is in conflict with the AP report. Still researching ...

“the governments of Brazil and the United States will sign ten documents”

Obama is not traveling with a basket of ready-made accomplishments or major agreements to feature during the trip. Indeed, when it comes to trade, he embarks empty-handed.

Pending free-trade agreements with Colombia and Panama remain unfinished, provoking demands from the U.S. business sector and Republican lawmakers that he complete the deals.

Obama also is unlikely to deliver on key Brazilian issues, including changes to tariffs on Brazilian ethanol fuel and the country’s desire to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
