A Brazilian government official pictured with President Trump has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The official, Fabio Wajngarten (pictured below wearing hat), is the press secretary for Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who visited the U.S. with a delegation last week.
A picture (see below) was taken last weekend at Mar-a-Lago with the president and vice president. Wajngarten posted the photo with President Trump on Instagram.
President Trump was asked (video below) this morning about contact with the infected man:
“Let’s put it this way…I’m not concerned.”
