Brazil president's son Eduardo Bolsonaro to meet with Trump on Friday

AUGUST 29, 2019 / 6:52 PM / UPDATED 4 HOURS AGO

BRASILIA (Reuters) - The son of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, Eduardo Bolsonaro, will meet U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday, he said on Thursday in Brasilia.

Eduardo Bolsonaro will be appointed by his father as the new Brazilian ambassador to the United States, but his name has not been sent to the Senate for voting and confirmation.

Eduardo will travel Thursday evening to Washington with Brazil’s Foreign Minister Eduardo Araújo, he said. “We’ll talk about the Amazon region and the G7 meeting. Trump is very informal, as my father is. We’ll certainly talk about these issues”.

The president’s son, a congressman, said he will thank the U.S. president for defending Brazil during the last G7 meeting over the fires in the Amazon rainforest. Earlier on Thursday, President Bolsonaro also thanked Trump for his support.
