Brazil's Bolsonaro threatens to cut diplomatic ties with Cuba

BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazilian far-right president-elect Jair Bolsonaro said there was no point maintaining diplomatic relations with Cuba because it trampled on human rights and there was no business to be done with the communist-run island.

In an interview published on Friday by Correio Braziliense newspaper, Bolsonaro criticized the Mais Medicos (More Doctors) program under which 11,420 Cuban doctors work in poor or remote parts of Brazil.

. . .

Bolsonaro, who was elected last week, takes office on Jan. 1 and promises the biggest shift in Brazilian foreign policy in decades.

He will seek closer relations with the United States and confirmed on Thursday that he plans to follow U.S. President Donald Trump’s lead and move Brazil’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
