Pres. Trump, Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro shake hands during press conference at the White House.
-loving, "fake-news" decrying politician -- chose to make the first bilateral trip of his presidency to Washington, where he has found an important friend and ally in Trump.
"The U.S.-Brazil relationship has always been one of potential, but yet that potential has not always been met," the senior administration official said. "This time it is different. This is a historic remaking of the U.S.-Brazil relationship where there is truly going to be a North-South axis of the two largest economies in the Western Hemisphere and a true partnership of the largest economies.
“We are looking at it very strongly. We are very inclined to do that. The relationship that we have right now with Brazil has never been better. I think there was a lot of hostility with other presidents. There is zero hostility with me,” Trump said. “And we are going to look at that very strongly in terms of whether it is NATO or something having to do with alliance.”
“We don’t want to say exactly, I know exactly what I want to happen, but we will be talking about different things. All options are on the table. It's a shame what is happening in Venezuela. The death and the destruction and the hunger, it's hard to believe -- one of the wealthiest countries in one of the poorest and most impoverished countries,” Trump said.
