Brazilian minister says Bolsonaro family is a political burden for Trump

veja.abril.com.br (Portuguese) —

Brazilian minister José Guimarães said the Bolsonaro family has become a "political burden" for US President Donald Trump, following Secretary of State Marco Rubio's denial of US involvement in Flávio Bolsonaro's escape from Brazil. Guimarães stated the episode gains traction ahead of US midterm elections, questioning why the Trump administration lacks resources for healthcare yet shelters a foreign family facing serious corruption allegations. He endorsed hashtags calling for the Bolsonaros' deportation. Rubio said the US government "did not participate directly" in the operation, despite reports that White House aide Jason Miller and an Argentine official helped arrange the private plane that transported Flávio Bolsonaro after a Supreme Court judge ordered his passport seized.
