This is confirmed by his public endorsement of Trump and his planned visit to Washington D.C., which includes engagements with U.S. business leaders and a potential meeting with Eduardo Bolsonaro. The extent of this alignment's impact on immediate policy shifts remains unclear, but it reinforces ideological bloc formation.
