Trump administration won't back Flávio Bolsonaro's Brazil leadership claim

oglobo.globo.com (Portuguese) —

The Trump administration does not plan to support Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's self-declaration as Brazil's leader, according to Reuters, citing reluctance to strain US-Brazil relations. The decision follows Flávio's arrival in the US on Wednesday, where he landed in Miami after leaving Brazil. Despite US assistance with his entry, officials reportedly won't endorse his claim, though they may reconsider later. Flávio, who lost the election to Lula and had his passport seized by Brazil's Supreme Court, plans to visit Washington next week. He also stated he's ready to run for president again before 2030, citing a possible economic crisis.
