Understanding cables

"Obama gives strength to Protectionists" 
 
Op-ed in business oriented paper Valor Econtmico (9-17) by

is betting strongly on the successful conclusion of the Doha 
Development Round Trade talks that would eliminate trade barriers 
that impede the progress of Brazil's exporters..."
