"Flavio Bolsonaro, a Brazilian senator, returned to Brasília on Thursday after meeting in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump, whom he said Brazil would join the Shield of the Americas with. Footage recorded in Brasília shows dozens of supporters welcoming the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro at the airport, while the senator greeted followers and posed for photographs with them. “I came to see Flávio Bolsonaro because I am the number one fan of his father. And now that his father can no longer be a candidate because of the difficulties he is facing, Flávio, in the name of Jesus, will continue his work,” supporter Neide Oliveira said. She also used the senator’s arrival to criticize current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and support Flávio’s candidacy. “Hey, Lula! Where are you? Shameless man no one sees! Did you go to the moon? Or did you turn into smoke? The presidency has already shown it does not belong to you; Flávio Bolsonaro is going to throw you out onto the street,” she stated. Other supporters, such as Anderson Fariam, commented on Flávio’s meeting with Trump last Tuesday at the White House and said it would be a factor to consider in the upcoming presidential elections. “Trump’s meeting with Flávio Bolsonaro was extremely interesting, very interesting. That will determine what happens next,” he said. Flávio Bolsonaro’s trip to the United States comes amid growing moves by the Brazilian right to define a presidential figure ahead of the elections, particularly given the situation of his father Jair Bolsonaro, who is facing judicial proceedings over an attempted coup d’état. During his meeting with Trump, Flávio discussed security matters aimed at classifying Brazilian organizations such as PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorist groups. He also announced that Brazil would join the Shield of the Americas, a regional alliance promoted by the United States to combat drug trafficking."
