SAO PAULO - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro reiterated on Thursday that he intends to nominate his son Eduardo to be ambassador to the United States, even if it damages his popularity. “I do intend to nominate him, yes. And whoever said they would no longer vote for me, I’m sorry,” Bolsonaro said on a live social media broadcast on Thursday.
He emphasized that his son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, a 35-year-old federal congressman representing Sao Paulo, is prepared to be Brazil’s representative and has good relationships in the United States. If nominated, his appointment would need to be approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee before passing to the full upper house for confirmation.
