WASHINGTON - Far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, on his first official visit to Washington, declared himself an unabashed admirer of the United States and said he was seeking a new era of close relations after what he called decades of anti-American leaders.
Brazilian Economy Minister Paulo Guedes echoed Bolsonaro’s message of friendship toward the United States but reminded the audience that China, Brazil’s top trading partner, would be there to pick up the slack if America did not open itself to more trade with Brazil. “Even the friendliest of Brazilian governments was never really that friendly. Here we have now a government in Brazil we truly consider an ally,” the official said.
But U.S. officials have warned their Brazilian counterparts of their security concerns about Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co during talks in Washington, the senior American official told reporters. The two governments did sign an agreement to safeguard U.S. space and defense technology that opens the way for U.S. companies to use Brazil’s Alcantara space center to launch satellites.
