Last fall 2024, I married a Brazilian national in Rio de Janeiro, on 26 OCT 2024. At the time, I said: No way is Trump going to win. Welp here we are. Just know that Americans are not the only ones feeling Trump's retribution - the whole (decent) world hates the guy. Now Trump wants to tariff metals coming into the U.S. This would include Brazil's iron ore - the 3rd largest exporter of iron to the U.S. (Media only reports Canada and Mexico and number five Germany).

Trump's sidekick, Elmo, is lusting after Brazil's lithium deposits.

I am back in Rio currently (Rio de Janeiro is pronunced He-yo day Zu-nayo. My name is pronounced Hick in Portuguese) currently working on the spousal immigration stuff and also working on getting a visitor visa while we wait for spousal immigration to be approved. Wish me luck. crazy
