Trump refuses to concede Bolsonaro's Brazil election defeat

masrawy.com (Arabic) —

US President Donald Trump refused to acknowledge Flavio Bolsonaro's defeat in the Brazilian election, calling the vote a "scandal" and saying Bolsonaro could stay in America "as long as he wants." Trump made the remarks during a Halloween party at his Florida club, referencing Bolsonaro's loss to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, despite observers describing the election as free and fair. Bolsonaro and his family arrived in Miami after leaving Brazil, following 48 hours of refusing to concede and threatening to challenge the result. He entered the US on humanitarian release after a Brazilian court revoked his passport amid money laundering investigations.
