Brazilian Senator and presidential contender Flavio Bolsonaro met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday as he looks to move past a scandal that has dented his popularity with voters ahead of Brazil's election later this year.
The encounter took place in the Oval Office and was closed to the press, but the senator spoke to journalists at a press conference in Washington after the meeting.
The senator, the eldest son of Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro, said Trump asked him about his father, who was sentenced to 27 years in prison for his involvement in the 2022-2023 coup d'état plot in Brazil. Senator Bolsonaro said they also discussed how both countries should address organized crime, tariffs, and interest in rare earths and critical minerals.
He was accompanied by his brother Eduardo Bolsonaro, who lost his job as a congressman last year after missing multiple sessions of the congressional term, as well as journalist and ally Paulo Figueiredo.

I’m surprised that the Brazilian government has not cooked up a reason to put him in jail yet.
This will piss Xi off.
Xi wants South America to belong to the CCP.
So far, X is losing big time.
“...was sentenced to 27 years in prison for his involvement in the 2022-2023 coup d’état plot...”
By that metric, Joe Biden should be rotting in jail for 27 years for the election coup in 2020. Typical of Reuters to take the side of the communist prick Lula da Silva.

Did they forget that Lula was in jail?

First impression: Bolsonaro is smart, reasonably confident and has an xlnt future. If he can stay alive.
