A New Trump Envoy Stirs Fears of U.S. Meddling In Brazil’s Elections

Darren Beattie, a U.S. policy adviser on Brazil, is planning a trip to Brazil. The purpose of the trip includes visiting former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is currently imprisoned. Beattie also intends to meet with Bolsonaro's son, who is a prospective presidential candidate. These planned meetings have raised concerns about potential U.S. interference in Brazil's upcoming elections. The visit is notable due to Beattie's position as a U.S. policy advisor and the sensitive political climate in Brazil.
