Flávio Bolsonaro arrived in the United States on Monday (4), a few days before the meeting between Lula and Donald Trump scheduled for Thursday (7) at the White House. The senator traveled to Miami accompanied by Rogério Marinho, leader of the opposition in the Senate.

Relations between Brazil and the United States accumulated tensions after Trump imposed extra tariffs on Brazilian products and sanctioned authorities involved in judicial processes against Jair Bolsonaro. Flávio Bolsonaro's trip occurs amid political disputes over the relationship between Lula, Trump and Bolsonaro supporters, with the government trying to address tariffs and investments while the opposition seeks to use the agenda as political ammunition.
