Trump to host Brazil's Bolsonaro as the two populists aim to build stronger ties
President Donald Trump on Tuesday is hosting Brazil's president Jair Bolsonaro at the White House for the first face-to-face meeting of the leaders of the two largest economies in the Americas.
Bolsonaro's use of Twitter is one of several stylistic similarities between Trump and himself. Others include their bombastic rhetoric, their skepticism of climate change science, their scorn for traditional government ethics and their willingness to publicly attack news outlets if they receive negative press coverage.
"The Brazilian military has very good relationships with the Venezuelan military, and the Brazilian military can clearly communicate with them," the official said. Bolsonaro is a former army captain who has installed several career military officers in key posts throughout the government. This philosophical alignment on trade also reflects the views of one particular political adviser who has shaped both Bolsonaro's outlook on the world and Trump's: Former Trump White House senior adviser Steve Bannon.Bannon left the Trump administration in 2017, after having served in senior roles on both the Trump campaign and then inside the West Wing.
On Sunday night, Bannon was one of a group of conservative U.S. political figures who dined with Bolsonaro at the Brazilian embassy in Washington.
