Eliane argues for a more docile Brazil with Obama.

247 - Liliana Ayalde, the United States Ambassador to Brazil, was received for lunch at Folha de S. Paulo, alongside Dennis Hankins, Consul General in São Paulo, Rakesh Surampudi, Press Attaché, and William Holton, Third Secretary.

Following the visit, columnist Eliane Cantanhêde published an article suggesting that the Dilma Rousseff government should be more amicable with the United States, "in order to re-establish a healthy and productive relationship with the world's greatest power."

According to her, "the Dilma government was not satisfied with Obama's repeated demonstrations, which included ordering a diagnosis of the espionage, going on TV to explain himself, and inviting Foreign Minister Luiz Figueiredo to visit the country."

The columnist also says that the American president is unable to understand other signals, not only from the Brazilian government, but also from Dilma herself. According to her, Obama was "disappointed" by the defeat of Boeing's fighter jets to those of the Swedish company Saab and is trying to accept as natural Figueiredo's delay in setting a date for his visit, as well as his "disdain for participation in the Montreux negotiations for peace in Syria."

For Eliane, foreign policy doesn't seem to be starting the year well, mostly due to Dilma's lack of understanding of what diplomacy actually is.read in full).
