The president of Brazil stopped off at a UK petrol station and vented his anger over the cost of fuel, it has emerged.
Jair Bolsanaro posted a video from while on a visit to the Queen's funeral and highlighted the spiralling cost of petrol near Hyde Park in London.
He is seen pointing to the digital display of unleaded petrol on the electronic sign.
Bolsanaro insisted the fuel which was being sold at 161.9p per litre was "practically double the average of many Brazilian states".
The president of the south American country then went on to claim fuel in Brazil was among the cheapest across the globe.
Footage was posted the night before the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, but it was lampooned by some social media users who claimed it was not a fair comparison.
People responded saying it was not a fair comparison because Brazil's 's minimum wage is much lower than the those living in the UK.
But although still high, petrol prices in Britain have come down after they rose to almost £2 per litre.
Bolsanaro has been hugely vocal about a fall in fuel prices as he tries to avoid being ousted from office during Brazilian presidential elections next month.
In the country's polls former leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is leading on 47% compared to Bolsonaro's 31%, a poll by IPEC on Monday showed.
The Brazilian president also faced accusations of using his London trip to boost his profile and be pictured with world leaders during his visit and also to boost his lagging campaign.
He addressed supporters from the Brazilian embassy on Sunday where he spoke on a balcony about the Queen's legacy first before quickly using the occasion to make a speech about his own country's election.
He told viewers watching his broadcast that Brazil was not in favour of liberalising drugs and did not want to discus abortion or gender opinions.
President Bolsanaro said: "We're a country that doesn't want drug liberalisation, that doesn't want to talk about legalising abortion and that doesn't accept 'gender ideology'."
He has been described as the Brazilian Donald Trump and has prompted controversies over the pandemic and policy on the Amazon rainforest.
The Mirror reported last month how the president got in a scuffle as he attempted to grab a heckler's phone after they called him a "coward".
Bolsonaro was taking selfies in the capital of Brasilia, when he was confronted by YouTube man and former army corporal Wilker Leao.
Leao is known for challenging the supporters of Bolsonaro, considered by many to be a populist president, and began to ask him about an alliance of parties in congress of right-wing and centrist parties known as 'Centrao'.
According to video from Brazilian news station Globo, Leao sad: "I come here every day, Bolsonaro. Let's see if you have the guts to get out and talk to me."
