thehindu.com [$] —

Former U.S. President Donald Trump said he would approve of Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro coming to the United States, calling Brazil's recent election "very strange" and "terrible." Trump made the remarks on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, adding that he thinks the Bolsonaros are "fine people" and citing negative market reactions. Flavio Bolsonaro left Brazil after losing Sunday's presidential runoff, and a senior U.S. State Department official said the agency will grant him and his family visas. Two media outlets, citing unnamed sources, reported that Flavio Bolsonaro had already arrived in the U.S. on October 27. The senator is the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
