“I spoke to him [Joe Biden] also about what the world has been suffering with some who seek to curtail this greater good and Brazil does not shy away from it. But, I understand that we have great support in Parliament, we have an Executive that I can speak with is unanimous, because I decide. And we seek to maintain this identity of Brazil towards the world”, Bolsonaro said.
The Chief Executive traveled to the United States to participate in the 9th edition of the Summit of the Americas, an event that brings together leaders from North, South, Central America and the Caribbean every 3 or 4 years.
Consulate
The creation of the consulate in Orlando was determined by a decree. According to Bolsonaro, the new office is a “piece of Brazil”. At the event, the president made the symbolic delivery of the first documents issued by the consulate to Brazilian citizens. Until then, without the consulate, Brazilians residing in the city had to travel to Miami to be treated.
