BUT: On the other hand, Bolsonaro met today with Bolton. The meeting itself is automatic and necessary. Major governments need to get acquainted and stay connected. What's worrisome is the sense that Bolsonaro will "align with US foreign policy." This may be a media interpretation, but so far I don't see any counterindications. Does he mean "align with Trump's scampaign", or "align with Trump's actions"? Does he know the difference?
A few hours later, YES, he does know the difference. Bolsonaro clearly realized that the appearance of the Bolton meeting caused concern, so he wrote:
Sujeitar automaticamente nosso território, leis e soberania a colocações de outras nações está fora de cogitação. É legítimo que países no mundo defendam seus interesses e estaremos dispostos a dialogar sempre, mas defenderemos os interesses do Brasil e dos brasileiros.
Roughly translating: Subjecting our territory and sovereignty to entanglement by other nations is unthinkable. It's legitimate for each nation to defend its own interests, and we will always be open to dialog, but we will defend the interests of Brazil and Brazilians.Labels: Sorosia
