Brazil and U.S.A. official discuss differences

Brazil’s foreign minister acknowledges differences with the U.S. government over Honduras and other issues - and says he spent more than an hour Thursday talking with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by phone.

Celso Amorim says there is no crisis in relations with the President Barack Obama’s administration - even if an adviser to Brazil’s leader said this week that he was “a little disappointed” by U.S. actions.

Obama recently wrote to Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva about sensitive issues and Amorim says Silva has written back, discussing climate change, trade issues, Iran’s nuclear ambitions and how to deal with the coup in Honduras.
