U.S. Defense Secretary Leon PanettaAlong these lines, cybersecurity holds great promise for increased cooperation.  Cyber incidents have the potential to cripple a nation, to take down its power grid, and to take down its government and financial systems.  For that reason, Brazil and the U.S. need to leverage their technical expertise and exchange more information on cyber policies, on training, and on best practices.
As two economic powerhouses in the hemisphere, the U.S. and Brazil have built a strong trade relationship that includes extensive trade in the defense area.  But there is room for expansion, particularly in the two-way flow of high-tech defense trade. Perhaps the most prominent example of the U.S. willingness to partner with Brazil on advanced defense technology is the strength of the U.S. government’s offer to provide the Super Hornet fighter aircraft to the Brazilian air force.  The sort of advanced technology sharing in the U.S. bid is reserved for only the United States’ closest partners.
The United States and Brazil’s common interests and common values are so great, said Defense Secretary Panetta, “and the possibilities that come from our cooperation are so tangible that we must seize this opportunity to build a stronger defense relationship in the future.”
