Since relocating in early 2025, Bolsonaro has framed his move as a necessary step to escape what he characterizes as systematic persecution by the Brazilian Supreme Court. His transition comes following a legal conviction in his home country, though he insists his current residence provides the personal and professional freedom he lacks in Brazil. He has maintained that a return is conditional, stating he would only consider going back if granted amnesty.
His presence in the United States remains a point of friction. While Bolsonaro maintains close ties with prominent American conservative figures and members of the Trump administration, he rejects allegations that he is engaged in lobbying against Brazilian interests. The political fallout continues to resonate in Brazil, where he and his brother, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, face ongoing scrutiny regarding their influence on trade relations, including recent debates over U.S. tariffs on Brazilian imports.
