John Bolton To Develop Cuba, Venezuela Strategy With Brazil’s Bolsonaro
President Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser John Bolton — a “bloodthirsty maniac,” as Esquire put it, perhaps best known for being part of George W. Bush’s war machine — appears to have, unsurprisingly given his reputation, taken to Brazil’s far-right President-elect and proponent of military dictatorship Jair Bolsonaro.
According to McClatchy, Bolton and Bolsonaro are partnering up to develop an elaborate, joint foreign policy strategy against Cuba and Venezuela. In a Twitter post published Wednesday, Bolton announced that he would be meeting with Bolsonaro on November 29, writing that Brazil and the United States share “many bilateral interests and will work closely on expanding freedom and prosperity throughout the Western Hemisphere.”
