President Donald Trump welcomed the prospect of the Brazilian president’s son becoming the new ambassador to the U.S., as he played up the chances of a free trade deal with the Latin American nation.
Trump described the pick of Eduardo Bolsonaro, a federal lawmaker, for Brazil’s top diplomatic posting as a “great appointment” in comments to reporters in Washington and downplayed suggestions that it might be considered nepotism. “He’s a brilliant, wonderful young man.”
