Trump: Bolsonaro can stay in the USA
After losing the election, Flávio Bolsonaro fled Brazil for the USA despite a travel ban. Trump stated he can stay indefinitely, calling the election a disgrace. Bolsonaro left after losing to Lula, and a Brazilian judge had ordered his passport confiscation due to a money laundering investigation. He entered the US on a humanitarian parole. Trump has no plans to meet him but believes Bolsonaro was treated poorly. US Secretary of State Rubio denied US involvement in Bolsonaro's escape, stating he had a visa prior. Jair Bolsonaro, Flávio's father, is imprisoned in Brazil for allegedly planning a coup after his election loss.
