What does Brazilian President Bolsonaro – dubbed the "Trump of the Tropics" – do now that Donald Trump no longer occupies the White House?

Steadfastly loyal to Trump, Bolsonaro was one of the last heads of state to recognize Joe Biden's victory. Now he's launched a PR campaign to curry favor with the incoming administration and attempt to revive negotiations for a free trade agreement with the U.S.

Its talking points allege that, "Brazil is an environmental powerhouse… Our energy mix is clean and renewable, the Brazilian agribusiness is synonym [sic] with sustainability and our government is determined to uphold law and order in the Amazon region."

Unfortunately, these statements fly in the face of the stark reality of years of environmental destruction and human rights violations encouraged by the Bolsonaro administration.
