WASHINGTON - Far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, on his first official visit to Washington, declared himself an unabashed admirer of the United States and said he was seeking a new era of close relations after what he called decades of anti-American leaders.
An outspoken Trump admirer, Mr Bolsonaro took power in January, vowing to realign Brazil with more advanced economies, particularly the United States. That represents a change in diplomatic priorities after over a decade of leftist party rule that had seen Brazil forging closer ties with regional allies.
A US senior administration official, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity, welcomed the change in Brazil's diplomatic stance. But US officials have warned their Brazilian counterparts of their security concerns about Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei Technologies during talks in Washington, the senior American official told reporters.
The two governments did sign an agreement to safeguard US space and defence technology that opens the way for US companies to use Brazil's Alcantara space centre to launch satellites.
