Flávio Bolsonaro, who is the son and ally of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, posted a photo with Trump in the Oval Office. The parties did not disclose the details of the negotiations.
The meeting took place against the backdrop of Washington's attempts to restore relations with current Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva following disputes over trade and foreign policy. Meanwhile, Jair Bolsonaro was previously convicted in a case involving an attempted coup d'état after the 2022 elections.
Bloomberg notes that Flávio Bolsonaro's visit to the US occurred at a difficult moment for his campaign due to a domestic political scandal that could affect his presidential prospects.
