Profile
One of the world's most powerful women, Rousseff is more than halfway
through her term as president of Brazil, the world's seventh-largest
national economy with a GDP of nearly $2.4 trillion. The country is
hosting the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016. Rousseff
criticized the U.S. for spying during her opening speech at the UN
General Assembly this fall and cancelled a state visit over reports that the National Security Agency was intercepting her emails.
