Brazil After President Rousseff’s U.S. Visit

President Dilma Rousseff’s approval and popularity ratings continue to remain low even after her recent meeting with President Obama. If the trip to the U.S. did provide a bump for the President, it was short-lived and has wilted in the face of political and economic realities in Brazil. We asked Brazil Institute Director Paulo Sotero to explain the situation President Rousseff faces, and to provide insights on what it might take to turn things around. That’s the focus of this edition of Wilson Center NOW.
