Former US President Donald Trump (2017-2021) and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2023) The main conservative convention in the United States, characterized by the ubiquity of “Trumpists” and the absence of major Republican Party figures, ended this Saturday.
The former Brazilian president will host a panel at 2:05 p.m. local time. The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at the National Harbor Convention Center, on the outskirts of Washington.
Bolsonaro arrives in the US capital accompanied by former tourism minister Gilson Machado and federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro, the third of his children, who will speak at the forum at 11:35 am local time (4:35 pm Brasília time).
Machado indicated on his Twitter that Jair Bolsonaro is planning a meeting with Trump after his speech, which will end the day at 5:25 p.m. local (10:25 GMT) at the CPAC.
The buses parked outside the National Harbor suggest capacity will be full this Saturday, half empty so far and full of supporters of the MAGA movement (acronym for “Make America Great Again”, “Making America Great Again”) , the slogan Trump used in his first campaign.
As of Wednesday, the CPAC hosted some of the leading conservative figures, most of whom are Trump supporters, such as his son Donald Trump Jr.; his daughters-in-law and former advisers Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lara Trump, as well as former adviser Steve Bannon, were most claimed by hall participants.
The program included presidential candidate and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, but not Republican heavyweights like House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, former Trump Vice President Mike Pence, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
