President Trump is interested in bringing Brazil into NATO, he announced Tuesday during a press conference alongside the South American nation’s new leader.

“I also intend to designate Brazil as a major non-NATO ally or even — possibly, if you start thinking about it — maybe a NATO ally,” Trump said, standing in the White House Rose Garden next to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. “Have to talk to a lot of people, but maybe a NATO ally, which will greatly advance security and cooperation between our countries.”
