Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro is weighing the nomination of his son Eduardo, a lawmaker, to become the nation’s ambassador to the U.S. as he seeks to strengthen ties with Donald Trump.

Bolsonaro said he’s considering the cost-benefit of the decision. “Imagine if Mauricio Macri’s son were here in Brazil as ambassador,” he said, referring to Argentina’s president. “Obviously, he would get different treatment than that given to a normal ambassador.”
