Former Brazilian deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro is scheduled to meet U.S. President Donald Trump at the conservative Latino Gala event on February 10 in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. The gathering, organized by Hispanic business leaders aligned with the right, will also include Argentine President Javier Milei. Eduardo, residing in the U.S. since February 2025, voiced his enthusiasm for attending the event.
The Latino Gala, also known as the Hispanic Prosperity Ball, is an annual event hosted by the financial education site Latino Wall Street. Held at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, it draws supporters of American and Latin American conservative politics. On February 10, Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and ex-federal deputy for PL-SP, has been invited to meet Trump.
Argentine President Javier Milei, an ideological ally of Trump, is also expected to attend. Eduardo, seen as the international coordinator for the Bolsonaro family, posted on social media: “Satisfaction to return to President Donald Trump's residence and participate in the same event as the best president Argentina has ever had.”
The event receives funding from right-wing linked entities, including Trump Vodka from the president's family, as well as financial brokers and philanthropic foundations. Tickets start at 15,000 dollars (about 79,000 reais), with sponsorships up to 250,000 dollars (1.3 million reais).
Eduardo has lived in the United States since February 2025 and often appears at local conservative forums. He is under investigation by Brazil's Supreme Federal Court for allegedly coordinating with Trump allies to impose sanctions on Brazil, aiming to pressure national institutions regarding his father's trial. In December, his congressional mandate was revoked by Chamber President Hugo Motta (Republicanos-PB) due to excessive absences from legislative sessions.
This meeting underscores connections among right-wing figures in the Western Hemisphere, amid ongoing political tensions in Brazil.
