The press accused Kennedy of trying to arrange a "military invasion" to Brazil in the 1960s

Brazilian journalists added oil into the fire of the difficult relations between their country and the USA, complicated after the scandal with wiretapping with the American intelligence services of the first people of the state, which became known thanks to the fugitive agent Edward Snowden.

The local publication Folha published an article that states that in the 1960s the then head of the White House John Kennedy planned a military attack on Brazil to overthrow the government of the President of Joao Gulart and establish the dictatorship, reports RT .

According to the Brazilian newspaper, the events described occurred a few weeks before the murder of the American leader. At a meeting in the White House, Kennedy asked the American ambassador in Brazil whether it was possible to organize a "military invasion" into this country. Negotiations were recorded, and the whole conversation was on the film, which the other day became available on the Arquivos de Dictadura website.

The Americans did not require the invasion of the Americans - the power in Brazil was overthrown as a result of an anti -government rebellion. However, the journalist Folha believes that the question of Kennedy, asked by the ambassador, proves US involvement in this coup. This is also proved by documents made in publication.

Moreover, they indicate that Washington’s intervention in Brazilian domestic political affairs was carried out not only from the Kennedy government, but also by his successor Lindon Johnson.
