BRASILIA: Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff postponed a state visit to Washington yesterday in protest over allegations of US cyberspying on her country.
Rousseff announced the decision after discussing the espionage row with US President Barack Obama on Monday in a telephone call.
“The two presidents decided to postpone the state visit since the outcome of this visit should not be conditioned on an issue which for Brazil has not been satisfactorily resolved,” Rousseff’s office said.
The visit had been scheduled for October 23 but no new date was immediately announced.
