Brazil National Day

On behalf of the United States of America, I send my warmest greetings to Brazil on the 202nd anniversary of your independence.

The bond between the United States and Brazil, developed over two centuries, is founded on our shared values and interests. Together, we seek to combat climate change, conserve biodiversity, strengthen democratic institutions, and harness technology to leave a cleaner and more sustainable planet for generations to come. We are working together on clean energy, decarbonization and critical mineral supply chains, and fighting together for the rights of workers and the economic betterment of all. Both the United States and Brazil are strengthened by our diversity, and we are proud to work together to expand social inclusion and eradicate racial and ethnic prejudice and discrimination in our countries and around the world. May the years ahead continue to strengthen our bonds and our shared democratic values.

The United States wishes the people of Brazil a joyous celebration of your Independence Day.
