BRASILIA, Brazil (Reuters) - The leaders of Brazil and the United States, the two most populous countries in the Western Hemisphere, aim to play down differences and seek common ground on issues from trade to democracy in Latin America during a get-together in Brasilia on Sunday. 

U.S. President George W. Bush arrived in the capital late Saturday after a Summit of the Americas in Argentina which failed to resolve differences on setting up a regional free trade zone. Protesters -- some 200 of whom battled riot police and torched a bank -- failed to disrupt the summit.
