In March 2025, he ordered a parliamentary mandate license and moved to the United States. The decision was made for fear of having the passport revoked and being arrested by determination of STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes
Eduardo began to communicate with US President Donald Trump, who endorsed the Bolsonarist speech against Moraes and in favor of amnesty to Jair Bolsonaro and the January 8 convicts
In the US, Eduardo began to encourage sanctions from the country against Brazil. What was realized in July 2025, when Trump announced 50%tax, stating that investigations against Jair Bolsonaro are a “witch hunt”
