The U.S. State Department has initiated internal procedures for Republican Daniel Perez to take over as head of the American embassy in Brasília. In an anonymous statement, a spokesperson said the expectation is that Perez will take office "as soon as possible," despite not yet having received the agrément—the signal that Brazil accepts the foreign representative as ambassador. The episode marks the latest diplomatic crisis between the two countries, as the U.S. reversed diplomatic custom by publicly announcing Perez's selection before obtaining Brazilian approval, contrary to traditional practice.
