Furthermore, According to him, Brazil invests about 1% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the sector, a percentage he considers insufficient to modernize and equip the Armed Forces. The measure was a response to the Brazilian government's delay in granting approval for the nomination of the new United States ambassador in Brasília. He cited as examples the high costs of strategic equipment, such as submarines and fighter jets, and said that often there is a lack of political will to request these resources. "You end up not having the courage to ask for this money because Brazil needs other opportunities," he said.
