Trump, Milei pressed on role in Bolsonaro's Brazil escape

bangkokpost.com —

Donald Trump and Javier Milei faced mounting pressure Friday to explain their countries' roles in helping Flavio Bolsonaro flee Brazil after his passports were cancelled, following his election defeat. Bolsonaro, a Brazilian senator, escaped via Argentina and Ecuador to Florida on Wednesday, using an Italian passport to board a private jet. Brazil summoned Argentina's diplomatic representative for explanations, though Buenos Aires denied any formal request. Bolsonaro thanked both leaders, who have not recognized Lula's victory. His father, Jair Bolsonaro, is under house arrest for plotting a coup, while his wife called for unity during "difficult times."
