and chile so what is this visit about is about competition or future business earlier i posed that question to deborah james the director of the international programs for the center for economic and policy research here's what she had to say. well i don't think that the obama administration is going to frame it as competition but it's very clear china became the biggest foreign investor in latin america last year and the way that the obama administration has framed this trip is really about opening up new markets and expanding the u.s. presence in markets in brazil we have to keep in mind that we in the united states because of i think republican opposition were not able to do a stimulus program that would have been adequate to jumpstart our economy given the crash experience and so because of that the obama administration has announced a policy of doubling exports twenty fifteen and what that means really is that we're sort of asking the rest of the world that bail us out because we weren't able to do it the most sickly and brazil they see is an emerging market and a place like to help us do that so the entire framing of the administration around the strip really has been around trying to place
