The problem is that there might be a large oil spill in the Gulf Coast that was just discovered a few days ago and is suspected to be leftover from last years BP spill. This is important because it would mean that oil has been drifting around for nearly a year and no one knew about it. If it is oil, it would also mean that someone made a big mistake last year and BP did not do a complete search of the surrounding areas after the spill.

The problem faced here is that the United States has been frustrated with the former Brazilian President regarding his lack of cooperation in Iran. The fact that there is a new president is important because we can now work to regain the lost relationship with Brazil. Another reason that it is important that the United States stays on good terms with Brazil is that there has been recent discoveries of oil reserves that will be available for export off the coast of Brazil.
