I could be wrong, but I doubt it will happen. Government won't go against the US like this.

Brazil's foreign diplomacy has a history (recent) of going against the US, albeit arguably on smaller things

Brazil effectively goes against the US when voting in the WTO. Most of the other times it is more about expressing its dissenting opinion on some issues, but not something like this.
