We hope this email finds you well.
On behalf of President-elect Trump, we would like to invite President Bolsonaro and a guest to the inauguration ceremony for President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Vance on Monday, January 20, in Washington, DC. Additionally, we would like to extend an invitation to President Bolsonaro and a guest to attend the Starlight Inaugural Ball on the evening of January 20th.
For your convenience, could you let us know if President Bolsonaro will be able to participate? If so, we will follow up with additional information.
Thanks,
