Brazil should sever ties with Venezuela’s socialist government, distance itself from Iran and consider recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, said Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of the front-running presidential candidate.
"You need to play tough with Venezuela. It’ll be a 180 degree-change in relation to Venezuela," the lawmaker said in an interview on Wednesday in Brasilia. He is one of the most influential voices in the presidential campaign of his father, Jair. "I wouldn’t recognize the Venezuelan government."
