Flávio travels to the USA and promises to defend Pix at a hearing on tariffs

Flávio Bolsonaro announced, this Friday (3), that he will travel to the United States to defend Pix during a panel speech at the PL's 3rd National Communication Seminar, held in Rio de Janeiro.

The trip is scheduled for this Saturday (4), with participation in a public hearing on US tariffs, scheduled for next Tuesday (7).

In a speech at the event, Flávio Bolsonaro stated that "the truth has to travel faster than lies" and declared that he is going to the United States to "defend our Pix". The parliamentarian criticized the current federal government, claiming that it "doesn't care about Brazilian companies" in the face of tariffs imposed by the USA on Brazilian products.

Proposal sent to the Trump government
In a document sent to the United States last Wednesday (1st), Flávio Bolsonaro proposed to the United States the creation of a law that would prevent the use of Pix in non-Western international systems. This proposal would have been part of a document sent to Donald Trump's government, which requested the postponement of tariffs on Brazilian products.

In addition, the parliamentarian would be registered to speak at the hearing on the 7th, when he must request the suspension of tariffs or, alternatively, that the issue be dealt with only after the elections.

According to journalist Jussara Soares, the Brazilian government follows Flávio's movements with suspicion. The perception of Palácio do Planalto, Brazilian diplomats and other negotiators is that the United States will not back down on the tariff.

In the government's assessment, the senator "shoots himself in the foot" by placing himself as an interlocutor on this issue, since there is little chance that the USA will not apply the 25% surcharge to Brazilian products.

Also according to Jussara Soares, the government believes that Flávio Bolsonaro will use the hearing as a platform to try to distance himself from the application of tariffs to Brazilian products.

The PT, in turn, should explore the issue politically, since Donald Trump, when announcing the tariffs last year, mentioned former president Jair Bolsonaro by name. The government's perception is that tariffs should guide the electoral dispute, and the government is "very pessimistic" about any retreat from the United States in relation to tariffs.
