President Trump praises Brazil's new far-right leader during White House visit.
March 19, 2019
The two leaders were expected to discuss a range of issues during their first sit-down, including expanding trade relations, increasing U.S. private-sector investment in Brazil and resolving the ongoing political crisis in Venezuela. Both are fierce critics of Venezuela’s socialist President Nicolas Maduro.
Trump later told reporters he intends to work to designate Brazil a “major non-NATO ally” and “maybe a NATO ally” as well. “For the first time in a while, a pro-America Brazilian president arrives in DC,” he tweeted after arriving. “It’s the beginning of a partnership focused on liberty and prosperity, something that all of us Brazilians have long wished for.”“Nowadays, you have a president who is a friend of the United States who admires this beautiful country,” he said.
