The Bolsonaro movement in the United States is led by former deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro and businessman Paulo Figueiredo. The two have a close relationship with a wing of Trump’s assistants and try to influence the White House’s foreign policy on Brazil. In the recent past, they were important for the application of sanctions against Brazilian authorities, including Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the STF (Supreme Federal Court).
According to the group’s interlocutors, an operation was carried out to present Lula’s opposing statements about Trump to the White House. Jason Miller, one of the US president’s advisors, started sending messages in recent days listing some episodes of clashes with the PT member, as in the case of the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in the invasion promoted by the Pentagon.
Bolsonarists cite Trump’s unpredictable nature, but say he should welcome Lula. On other occasions, the American invited heads of state for a conversation at the White House and, in front of the cameras, embarrassed his guests. That’s what happened, and also.
The Bolsonarists’ idea is to wear down Lula with the visit regardless of the result, say Flávio’s allies. The group says it believes that the trip itself should deprive Lula of his speech defending sovereignty and opposing Trump.

The USA demonstrated interest in exploring critical Brazilian minerals, and Lula asked for speed with the project that regulates this activity on national soil. The Chamber approved the proposal on Wednesday.
Bolsonarists believe that the negotiation also nullifies Lula’s criticism of Flávio Bolsonaro. The senator was criticized for placing Brazil as “the solution” for the United States to end its dependence on China for rare earths.
The Brazilian government has established as a priority issue: Through it, the North American government punishes foreign commercial practices considered unfair or restrictive to the country’s interests. Planalto wants to present documents that show the good commercial relationship between Brasília and Washington.
