Trump has sought to downplay the interaction with the press aide to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, even after photographs emerged of the two in close proximity to each other and shaking hands.

“That night, I was taking hundreds of pictures,” Trump said during an earlier exchange with a reporter about the matter.

However, Trump reversed course during remarks at the White House Friday, saying he would be tested.

“Most likely, yes,” Trump told a reporter during an exchange about his recent contact with the Brazilian official. “Not for that reason, but because I think I will do it anyway.

“Fairly soon, we’re working out a schedule,” he added.
