Flávio Bolsonaro flees to the United States after election defeat to Lula

Flávio Bolsonaro has fled to the United States following his defeat in Brazil's presidential election. He left after defying a court order to surrender his passports, which were invalidated by police. U.S. officials confirmed his flight, and sources suggest he may seek asylum under the Trump administration. Bolsonaro had previously expressed intentions to remain in Brazil and lead the opposition against President Lula da Silva. His departure comes after a surprising electoral loss, despite his earlier confidence in winning the presidency. The Supreme Federal Court judge who issued the passport order acted swiftly after the election results.
