SAO PAULO/BRASILIA–Brazil’s new President Jair Bolsonaro said on Jan. 3 that he would be open to the possibility of the United States operating a military base on his country’s soil, a sharp turn away from a decade-old policy set by the socialist Workers Party.
Bolsonaro, who took power on Jan. 1, said that Russia’s support of President Nicolas Maduro’s dictatorship in neighboring Venezuela had significantly ramped up tensions in the region and was a worrying development.
