WASHINGTON
President-elect's son Eduardo Bolsonaro arrived in the United States on Monday (26th) and said that his trip is the first effort to "recover Brazil's credibility" with the Americans.

"We came here to take the first steps," he told reporters while standing in front of the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington conservative think tank where he attended a lunch meeting.

"We came here to say that the new administration is willing not only to trade but also to cooperate in several other areas," he added, without specifying what areas were those.

Filipe Martins, secretary of international affairs of political party PSL, was also present.
Eduardo Bolsonaro also said that "things will change a great deal," thanks to the positions of future Foreign Secretary Ernesto Araújo.
