President Donald Trump and Brazilian counterpart Jair Bolsonaro will meet for the first time, bringing together two controversial leaders with right-wing visions for the Americas.
President Donald Trump was set to meet his Brazilian counterpart Jair Bolsonaro for the first time Tuesday in a sitdown that would bring together two conservative leaders pursuing controversial, sometimes like-minded, strategies to make their respective countries"great again."
This combination of pictures President Donald Trump during the International Association of Chiefs of Police annual convention at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida on October 8, 2018, and then-Brazilian presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro during the first presidential debate at Bandeirantes television network in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on August 9, 2018. Bolsonaro has been described as Brazil's far-right answer to Trump.
"They are articulating support for a potential war against Venezuela that can have catastrophic consequences in the region. They disseminate the idea of Venezuela as 'external enemy' in the region," Mendonça told Newsweek."This is very dangerous because Brazilian foreign policy was historically based on peaceful mediation of conflicts."
As Trump's tenure progressed, scrutiny over the inner workings of his White House has only expanded, now including calls for investigations into how Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser, obtained a security clearance and his intimate relationship with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who stands accused of ordering the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
