A Foreign President Wades Into Brazil's Campaign
Argentine President Javier Milei will touch down in São Paulo on July 25 to stand behind Senator Flávio Bolsonaro at the Liberal Party's national convention, where Bolsonaro is widely tipped to be crowned the party's pick to challenge incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in October. Milei confirmed the trip in a radio interview, framing it as a chance to back a fellow right-wing movement he's been publicly courting for weeks, according to Rio Times reporting. The gesture builds on a late-June sit-down in Buenos Aires, where Flávio was received at Argentina's presidential residence during a separate trip tied to a regional Jewish community conference, and where Milei made his support for a possible candidacy known, per Plataforma Media.
