Washington and Brasilia confirmed that the leaders will meet for the first time this Thursday in the framework of the Summit of the Americas.
Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, told reporters aboard Air Force One that the election issue is on the agenda.
“I want to anticipate that the president will discuss open, free, fair, transparent and democratic elections,” he said on Wednesday.
Fervent ally of the former president donald trumpBolsonaro questioned the result of the 2020 electoral election that brought Democrat Biden to power, straining relations between Washington and Brasilia.
On Tuesday, in the final stretch of the trip that will mark the first handshake of both presidents, Bolsonaro referred to the issue again during an interview with the local press.
“Who speaks [sobre fraude en las elecciones] It is the people of the United States. I am not going to go into detail about the sovereignty of another country. But Trump was doing very well and many things came to us making us doubt. We don’t want that to happen in Brazil,” said Bolsonaro, who is due to land in Los Angeles on Thursday morning.
The environmental issue will also be addressedSullivan added, at a time when Brazil is in suspense over the disappearance of a British journalist and an indigenista who were working in the Amazon jungle.
Brazil concentrates most of the Amazonian territory, and its president is favorable to its commercial exploitation, a position that is widely criticized by environmentalists and that has generated tensions with other leaders in the past.
Itamaraty sources affirm that the meeting will last half an hour.
After his participation in the Summit, where he is expected to speak on Friday, Bolsonaro will leave for Orlando to inaugurate a consulate.
Itamaraty sources affirm that the president will try to meet with representatives of the Republican Party in Florida.
The ultra-conservative leader is second in the polls ahead of the October presidential elections dominated by Lula da Silvawho governed Brazil between 2003 and 2010 and became one of the most popular politicians in Brazil.
