The new US travel ban on Brazil may affect the diplomatic and economic relationship between the two countries, Sao Paulo Gov. Joao Doria told CNN’s Isa Soares on Tuesday
“In my opinion, my personal opinion, even the diplomatic and economic relationship with the US will be affected by Mr. Trump’s decision,” Doria said.
Doria said President Jair Bolsonaro was undermining his message and that of governors who represent some of the states hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic. “He goes to the streets without masks. A wrong behavior and wrong indication. This is very sad for Brazil and makes everything more difficult [for] the governors in the states of Brazil,” Doria said. “In fact, we have today two viruses to combat in Brazil: the coronavirus and Bolsonaro virus."
“The behavior of President Bolsonaro is the wrong behavior. He is against social isolation. He’s against orientation of the science,” Doria said, adding the priority should be saving lives before saving the economy.
