Although the outcome of the US election was called into question again at the beginning of the week, President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) said Thursday (6/9) that former President Donald Trump “was in the past”. The CEO is in the US for the Summit of the Americas, and he will also meet with US President Joe Biden.
“I didn’t come here to talk about the US election, that’s in the past. Everyone knows I have a great relationship with President Donald Trump, but the president now is Joe Biden, and he’s the person I’m talking to, and he’s the president,” he told reporters. Previously, Bolsonaro has defended several times that former President Donald Trump – who has attempted re-election in 2020 – may be right on the fraud charges.
Today the President of Brazil has already advocated the need to “deepen” the relationship with North America. “It’s going to be eight years with President Biden.”
Brazil Bolsonaro was one of the last administrations to acknowledge the Democrat’s victory. On the seventh of last month, the Brazilian head of state said that Trump was “in a very good shape” in the last elections and that he “remains in a weak position.”
It is the American people who say that. I will not go into detail about the sovereignty of another country. Now, Trump is doing well. So much has arrived for the people we left behind. We don’t want that to happen in Brazil. There is information from the Brazilians themselves that there are people who have voted more than once,” he claimed in an interview with SBT . News.
Bolsonaro also commented at the time on an earlier invitation to the event and justified that he had initially rejected it because it “would not frame a portrait for anyone”. However, he only agreed to attend the summit after Biden sent a special envoy, Christopher Dodd, confirming that he would meet with him in person.
