Trump says Brazil election looked 'rigged' without giving evidence

The Trump administration has praised recent right-wing electoral successes in South America. President Trump commented on Brazil's election, calling it "rigged" without evidence after Lula defeated Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro initially rejected the election results, claiming they should be annulled, and stated he would organize opposition. He also mentioned being banned from leaving Brazil and having his passports confiscated. Trump previously welcomed Bolsonaro to the White House, describing him positively. Trump noted that many left-leaning candidates have lost in South America, emphasizing his endorsements of winning candidates.
