"Every one of my F-35 jets needs about 400 kilos of rare earths," says an AI-generated Uncle Sam in the video "You have the second largest reserve on the planet, and you're just sitting on it."
An AI video depicting Uncle Sam sums up Washington's priorities for Brazil ahead of the October 25 presidential election runoff, and how U.S. social media platforms are "invading" voter opinion.

"I don’t need to tell you that we are losing this war, but I need you to understand all we are losing with it...so I am here not to extol the virtues of your union or the value of unions in general, but to ask you bluntly:
