The President of the two nations meets for a dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Ahead of the dinner, Trump was asked if he would continue to hold off placing new tariffs on Brazilian aluminium, he replied: “the United States had helped Brazil, but would not make any promises regarding tariffs”.

The two biggest economies of the Western Hemisphere had been entangled in a trade spat over USA’s metal tariffs. President Bolsonaro communicated “President Trump had told him there would be no new U.S. tariffs on Brazilian steel and aluminium.”

Trump said of Bolsonaro: "Brazil loves him and the USA loves him. The friendship is probably stronger now than it's ever been."

The two leaders, who share a similar brand of conservative, populist politics, last met roughly a year ago at the White House.

A senior U.S. administration official communicated earlier on 7^th March’20: “the two leaders were expected to discuss the crisis in Venezuela, economic ties and the possibility of a U.S.-Brazil trade agreement. Forest conservation was also on the topic list for the meeting.”
