Trump backs Flavio Bolsonaro's US entry after Brazil election loss

deccanherald.com —

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he would approve Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's entry into the United States following Bolsonaro's upset loss in Brazil's presidential election on Sunday. Trump made the remarks at Joint Base Andrews, noting Bolsonaro was in Argentina, after reports emerged that the senator had left Brazil following a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports. The US State Department said Tuesday it would issue visas to Bolsonaro and his family, without confirming travel plans. Trump called the Bolsonaros "fine people" and criticized the election as "strange" and "terrible," referencing market impacts. He also defended former President Jair Bolsonaro, claiming he was treated badly. Left-wing candidate Lula da Silva won the election by nearly 4.4 million votes.
