Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who portrays himself as a close friend of U.S. President Donald Trump, took a swipe at President-elect Joe Biden, referring to Biden as a "candidate" and assailing him for his stand on the Amazon rainforest. Bolsonaro is one of a small group of prominent world leaders yet to congratulate Biden, who won last week's presidential election and is due to enter the White House on Jan. 20. Speaking at an event on Tuesday, Bolsonaro took issue with Biden's call during a U.S. presidential debate in September for Brazil to fight deforestation with foreign help or face unspecified "economic consequences."
