- Story Text: Brazil right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro on Thursday (July 16) said he hopes Republican U.S. President Donald Trump will be reelected in November.
Bolsonaro has often lauded Trump, calling him a political role model and drawing parallels between their conservative agendas.
The Brazilian leader has been critical of left-leaning leaders in Latin America and further afield. On Thursday, he said that Argentina opted for a "lie" in an election that pitted former conservative president Mauricio Macri against leftist victor President Alberto Fernandez.
Also in his address, Bolsonaro hit out at critics that the country's Amazon rain-forest is under threat.
