In less than two weeks, one of the world's biggest democracies will hold what many are describing as its most important presidential election in years. The US has been watching this vote in Brazil closely. Why?
There aren't many issues that staunch opponents in Washington ever agree on.
But they are united on this.
"This is going to be one of the most intense and dramatic elections in the 21st Century," former Trump aide Steve Bannon tells the BBC.
"The fate of Brazil's democracy and of US relations with Brazil will be decided in the upcoming election," says Senator Patrick Leahy, one of a number of Democrats taking a strong interest in the election.
At a recent reception in Washington to mark 200 years since Brazil gained independence from Portugal, the talk was of little else.
There are several reasons why this election has grabbed the attention of the US - trade, democracy, Trump and climate change.
The fates of the two countries have felt entwined of late, as they face similar challenges and share common interests. Both endured huge death tolls in the pandemic and now face inflation levels above 8%.

History repeats itself, Wiki source:
General elections were held in Brazil on 1 March 1930.[1] In the presidential elections the result was a victory for Júlio Prestes of the Republican Party of São Paulo, who received 57.7% of the vote.[2]
Results
Candidate Party Votes %
Júlio Prestes Paulista Republican Party 1,091,709 57.68
Getúlio Vargas Liberal Alliance 742,794 39.25
Other candidates 58,074 3.07
Total 1,892,577 100.00
Aftermath: Prestes never took office as he was overthrown by the Brazilian Revolution on 24 October. The revolution was led by Vargas, an opponent of the oligarchic rule shared between the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais (known as the café com leite system). [The autocrat] Vargas became President of Brazil, ruling until 1945.
The USA government is the bad guy at home and abroad.
I have tried for months to get some notice for this election. The guy opposing Bolsonero is a flat out commie and that is who Washington DC supports.
Look for a color revolution to emerge if Bolsonero wins.
No, she is the prime expert in overturning elected leaders and replacing them with WEF puppet regimes.
“Brazil is the country of the future, and always will be.”
Unfortunately the future may be third world grinding poverty and a stranglehold over power by a small elite who propagandize the peons to believe they live in a “democracy”.
The deep state does not support Bolsonero. They would not send Nuland down there to help his opposition if they did.
I wish that Tucker would have a special on how the US is becoming a colony of China.
That is what our real problem is. The Chinese just bought some of Florida and have set up shop in almost all states.
And we are supposed to worry about Brazil? I smell a rat.
she’s half-English and Half-Jewish (from Ukraine).
So you should take your anti-semitism away from FR - go back to the DU where anti-semites belong
If you live in the West, Canada is your model nation. Everyone struggles to make a living because everything is so expensive because of socialism.
I’m no anti-semite you Polish ponce. You do nothing but defend ukraine nazis and their foreign legion. Go look in the mirror. Hopefully you are a bit better looking than your croat boyfriend
Of course you are an anti semite. You hate Zelensky as he is Jewish, as you call him one with Soros in the same group.
And I got no Polish background you anti Semite
