"Flávio afirmou que o principal motivo para a reunião foi para pedir que o republicano designe as facções criminosas, CV e PCC, como terroristas. Ao tratar do assunto com Trump, ele disse que ainda estava analisando a questão e não fez promessas ao senador."
During the conversation, Trump repeated praise for President Lula, calling him "dynamic" — the same expression he had used publicly after meeting with the PT politician three weeks earlier in May. "President Trump commented on the meeting with President Lula. He praised his dynamism," Figueiredo confirmed. ?

"Nem a Casa Branca nem o presidente Donald Trump postaram fotos ou fizeram publicações sobre o encontro do senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) com o mandatário americano no Salão Oval, na terça-feira (26). O silêncio sobre a reunião é atípico."
"No ano passado, quando Trump se reuniu no Salão Oval com o então candidato à presidência da Polônia, Karol Nawrocki, a conta da Casa Branca no X postou duas fotos do encontro. Outros candidatos apoiados por Trump foram tema de publicações na conta do presidente americano na rede social Truth Social."
The following day (27), Flávio met at the State Department with Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau and counselor Darren Beattie, responsible for relations with Brazil. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, did not participate because he was in a cabinet meeting. The agenda included bilateral cooperation and the urgency of classifying Brazilian factions as terrorists, according to the senator's entourage. ✓
