Trump questions Brazil election integrity without evidence

g1.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Donald Trump claimed Brazil's election "seemed more like a fraudulent election" without providing evidence, following Lula's victory over Flávio Bolsonaro with 51.79% of valid votes. Trump said he "does not govern Brazil" and likes Lula, but called the voting extension "very strange." Lula's advisor Celso Amorim dismissed the remarks, saying Trump is "misinformed" and that Meta obstructed their campaign. Bolsonaro refused to recognize the result and challenged a court-ordered voting extension, though the electoral authority confirmed only 35,000 people voted after 5 p.m., far short of Lula's 4.4 million-vote margin.
