Brazilian senator and presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro met with the US president Donald Trump at the White House, in the context of a tense election campaign in Brazil.
According to reports, the meeting took place behind closed doors in the Oval Office, before the senator spoke to the press in Washington.
Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, is seeking to revive his campaign after a political scandal damaged his popularity. He is particularly embroiled in controversy surrounding his requests for funding for a film project about his father.
During the interview, Donald Trump reportedly questioned the senator about the situation of his father, who was sentenced to 27 years in prison in connection with a case related to an attempted coup in Brazil.
Discussions also focused on economic relations between the United States and Brazil, including tariffs, the fight against organized crime, and interest in strategic minerals.
This meeting takes place in a highly polarized Brazilian political context, on the eve of close national elections, where international alliances play an increasing role in the candidates' strategy.
