What's really at stake is [clearing throat] what you want for this country. What kind of future do you want? A country where the oil is ours, or a country where what happened in Venezuela happens to us? A country where the critical minerals [music] and rare earth elements are new, mined by us, refined by us, industrialized by us, or are you going to allow American companies to come and take, you know, our mineral wealth? And the same applies to every country we desire. A sovereign country, a country that has only one owner. The owner is called the Brazilian people.
