THEIR NEEDS ATTENDED MEANS OUR PROBLEMS SOLVED

Brazilian oil company, Petrobras, aleged U.S. restrictions as not to sell oil to an Iranian ship, which is anchored without oil in the shore of the state of Paraná, in the South of Brazil.

The Brazilian President, Jair Bolsonaro, says he fears to allow fuel to the ships because that would provoke disapproval from the North American President, Mr. Donald Trump.

Nevertheless, Iran might be trying to explain the ballast problem they have, as oil might be a ballast along with aluminum and steel, but doesn't work for Trade.

The ballast is the material that is used to provide stability to a structure (Wikipedia). Thus, although the Middle East countries may have extense amount of oil, they don't have Goods with value for Trade.

This means, they must come to Europe, Asia and Americas for Trade of Agribusiness and Commodities.

The Iranian ship, anchored in Paraná shore, has 48 thousand tons of corn and should have departed back to Iran on June 8th - https://oglobo.globo.com/mundo/alvos-de-sancoes-dos-eua-navios-iranianos-aguardam-decisao-judicial-para-deixar-porto-de-paranagua-23815377

This is a "Check" movement on the chess match that Iran is gamming against the rest of the world; The proposal to buy 105 million Reais (about 30 million dollars) and not being able to take the purchase home, for the reason that they have a Trade Agreement for Brazilian Agribusiness, not for our oil.

Accordingly, the USA competes for the Iranian oil, in exchange of the weapons they Trade to finance that war. This could change, because the only country to benefit from this Trade has been China (the moderator of the amount of the weapons sold in the Middle East is Russia, and their main Trade Partner is China through Russia's Natural Gas company http://tarafatosefilosofia.blogspot.com/2018/11/retrospective.html).

It would certainly be an assert to have a new Agreement - a bi-lateral Agreement - that would diminish the amount of weapons created and sold by the USA (less weapons would be demanded by the moderator of the war, Russia). In exchange, the USA would have more stocks on Brazilian steel, among other products from the BRICS (in terms of stocks of oil from Petrobras, that could be invested in our steel industry http://www.acobrasil.org.br/site2015/ , for
USA and China to purchase), and the other side of the Agreement would place a possibility for more Agribusiness and Commodities, sold to Iran and Middle East (in exchange of buying part of their stocks of oil ballast).
