Trump Questions Brazil Election Integrity Without Evidence

news18.com —

President Donald Trump questioned the outcome of Brazil's presidential election, calling left-wing leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's victory over right-wing senator Flavio Bolsonaro a result that "looked like another rigged election," without providing evidence. Trump criticized the voting process, specifically the two-hour extension of voting hours on Sunday, which was requested by Lula due to transport problems. Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, has refused to accept the result and vowed to challenge it, while also facing an investigation over alleged corruption. Trump's remarks come ahead of the US midterm elections on November 3, and he has previously disputed his own 2020 defeat. Despite his criticism, Trump noted he had a good relationship with Lula and has welcomed recent electoral gains by conservative leaders across Latin America.
