15 deals with Spain signed in one afternoon. Critical minerals, satellites, AI infrastructure. Brazil has the second largest rare earth reserves on the planet. Every EV, missile, and smartphone runs on this stuff. The new rule: you can have access, but you process it inside Brazil or the deal is dead. That single condition is how a raw materials colony becomes an industrial power. The U.S., EU, India, and China are all circling right now. Brazil hasn't signed with Washington yet. Every deal before that one is leverage. Lula knows exactly what he's doing.
