US President Donald Trump and new Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro have expressed their mutual admiration on Twitter.
Minutes after Bolsonaro took the oath of office and gave his first speech as president on Tuesday, Trump tweeted that Bolsonaro had made a "great inauguration speech".
Trump also said: "The U.S.A is with you!"
Not long after that, Bolsonaro apparently found time to tweet back in the middle of ceremonial activities.
His official Twitter account said: "Dear Mr. President (at)realDonaldTrump, I truly appreciate your words of encouragement. Together, under God's protection, we shale bring prosperity and progress to our people."
