Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro Meets Donald Trump Amid Election and ScandalPreviousNext

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro met with former U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on May 26, confirming the encounter with a photo posted on social media. The meeting, reportedly at Flavio's request and not on Trump's public schedule, included discussions on crime, trade tariffs, and rare minerals. Flavio, a leading contender for Brazil's 2026 presidential election and son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, is currently facing scrutiny over a bank fraud scandal linked to funding a film about his father.
