Rubio denies US role in Bolsonaro's exit but confirms Trump approved entry

infomoney.com.br (Portuguese) —

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied US involvement in Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's departure from Brazil but confirmed President Donald Trump authorized his entry into the country. Rubio stated the US did not facilitate any arrangements for his exit. Rubio said Bolsonaro already had a visa and received temporary parole permission from Trump upon reaching an official US entry point. The senator arrived this week after losing Brazil's presidential election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, despite a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports. Rubio and Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira agreed to meet again before December's G20 summit in Miami. Separately, Rubio said Trump has not decided whether to resume military strikes against Iran, as Qatar-mediated negotiations continue in Doha.
