Lula's Itamaraty advises pragmatism on Flávio Bolsonaro's US escape
Brazil's Itamaraty has advised President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to adopt a pragmatic approach regarding Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's flight to Miami, amid suspicions of US and Argentine government assistance. Flávio Bolsonaro violated a Supreme Court order prohibiting him from leaving Brazil and arrived in Miami on Wednesday. The New York Times reported that a White House staffer arranged the private jet for his travel from Argentina via Ecuador, with US immigration allowing entry under humanitarian parole. Lula plans to leave the matter to the judicial sphere and avoid confrontation with President Donald Trump or Argentina's Javier Milei, who have not recognized his election victory. The situation may delay approval of Trump's ambassador nominee to Brazil.
