The meeting between Flávio and Trump and American interests in the Brazilian election - The Issue #1729
On Tuesday afternoon (26), Flávio Bolsonaro was received by the American president at the White House and achieved some goals in this meeting: a photo next to Donald Trump and the request for Brazilian criminal factions to be classified as terrorist organizations by the USA.
The presidential candidate went to Washington in search of a positive agenda after the revelation of his conversations with Daniel Vorcaro and the controversies of the 'Dark Horse' case. At the beginning of the month, President Lula also went to the White House and met with Trump - a meeting within the official agenda.
In this episode, Natuza Nery interviews international relations analyst Oliver Stuenkel, who is in the USA. Oliver reports on the perceptions of Brazilian and American diplomacy regarding Flávio's meeting with Trump, and the repercussion of the photo in which the two appear together. He also assesses what the US's biggest interests are in the October elections.
Guest: Oliver Stuenkel, professor of International Relations at FGV and researcher at Harvard University and the Carnegie Endowment.
The podcast O Assunto is produced by: Luiz Felipe Silva, Sarah Resende, Carlos Catelan, Luiz Gabriel Franco, Juliene Moretti, Stéphanie Nascimento and Guilherme Gama. Presentation: Natuza Nery.
