President Biden of the United States and President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil met for the first time on the 9th.
President Bolsonaro, once known as an ardent supporter of former President Trump and criticizing President Biden, is expected to showcase his diplomatic power as he refrains from his own presidential election.
President Biden of the United States and President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil met for the first time on the 9th when the Summit of the Americas, where the leaders of the Americas gathered, was held in Los Angeles.
According to the White House, the two leaders confirmed the strategic importance of bilateral relations.
In the US presidential election, President Jair Bolsonaro, who was known as an ardent supporter of former President Trump at the time, declared that he "wants to be reelected by Mr. Trump."
"At last year's G20 summit, President Biden passed by as if I didn't exist," he criticized the Brazilian media last month.
President Bolsonaro is expected to promote his diplomatic power by meeting with President Biden ahead of the presidential election he runs for in October.
On the other hand, it seems that President Biden emphasized the participation of President Bolsonaro, who leads Brazil, a regional power, while Mexico and others are not attending the Summit of the Americas hosted by himself.
