President Jair Bolsonaro (PSL) set aside his pubic support of Donald Trump by dismissing Brazil’s participation in a possible military action in Venezuela.

At a bilateral meeting at the G20 summit, he told Trump that one had to think about the future and that Brazil could not adopt this line in South America.

This was the second meeting of the leaders. Folha reconstituted the dialogue between them with people present.
