The Congressional Brazil Caucus is a bipartisan caucus of the United States House of Representatives, whose goal is to protect and preserve the U.S.'s relationship with Brazil, and increase the economic interaction between the two countries.[1] Representative Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) founded the caucus in 1999 as a way to "improve dialogue and trade relations between the United States and Brazil."[2]
The Caucus is traditionally co-chaired by two to four of its members. The chairpersons of the caucus of the 116th Congress were Representatives Darin LaHood (R-IL) and Gregory Meeks (D-NY).[3]
