"We are starting the first day of a three-day tour in Brasilia to meet our counterparts, foster the Brazil-US relationship, and indeed highlight a path for cooperation on a wide variety of issues, such as climate, economic development, and more," stated AOC, as the American politician is known.

Other members of the delegation are fellow Democrats Joaquín Castro, Nydia Velázquez, Greg Casar, and Maxwell Frost. Misty Rebik, chief of staff for Bernie Sanders — an independent senator but aligned with the left wing of President Joe Biden's party — is also in the country to represent him. The entourage will stay in Brasília until Wednesday (14th) and then will stop by Santiago, Chile, and Bogotá, Colombia.
