Trump officially designates Brazil as major non-NATO ally

US President Donald Trump has officially designated Brazil as major non-Nato ally, AFP reported. 

In a notice sent to the State Department, Trump said, "I hereby designate the Federative Republic of Brazil as a major Non-NATO Ally of the United States," referring to the powerful North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Trump briefed Congress in May on his intention to take such a decision, which would strengthen the cooperation between the two countries in defense.
