Alckmin rejects Trump's unproven claims of fraud in Brazil's election

Brazilian Vice President Geraldo Alckmin rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's unsubstantiated claims that Brazil's election appeared fraudulent, calling the remarks "totally mistaken" and an improper interference in another country's affairs. Trump questioned the extension of voting hours and echoed complaints from defeated candidate Flávio Bolsonaro's campaign, saying the election "seemed rigged" without providing evidence. Alckmin defended Brazil's electronic voting system as a global example of legal security and said democracy means accepting the people's decision. Alckmin also highlighted Brazil's trade negotiations with Singapore, the European Union, and Canada as alternatives to U.S. tariffs, while noting record export levels despite the trade barriers. Trump, who said he likes President Lula, claimed he did not take sides in the election.
