Brasilia: The Brazilian government on Tuesday expressed concern over potential new conflicts in Latin America as the United States moves forward with efforts to classify drug trafficking as terrorism.According to Namibia Press Agency, Celso Amorim, the chief advisor to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, spoke to local media about the current global situation, describing it as a moment of "total disorder." He highlighted the risks associated with U.S. labels that could potentially justify military interventions in the region.Amorim cited Washington's recent actions, including attacks on vessels suspected of drug trafficking in Latin America and the classification of organized crime groups as terrorist organizations. He warned that distinguishing "narco-terrorism" from other labels might lead to military actions that would not occur otherwise, calling the situation "very worrisome."Furthermore, Amorim noted that the issue extends beyond trade matters, alluding to the ongoing negotiations over the 50 per cent tariffs imposed by the United States on Brazilian products. Despite these tensions, he emphasized that Brazil remains a stable democracy and "an indispensable partner for the international community in a world in desperate need of good news."
