Trump says Bolsonaro can stay in US 'as long as he wants'
US President Donald Trump said Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro can stay in the US "as long as he wants," following his departure from Brazil. Trump made the statement Saturday at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, adding he has no scheduled meeting with Bolsonaro. Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, is in the US with his family. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington had no "direct involvement" in his departure, though CNN Brazil disputes this claim without providing further details. The senator said Friday he left Brazil to avoid prosecution, claiming police confiscated his passports amid a money laundering investigation. He also alleged election fraud in the 2022 vote, claims denied by his party and Brazilian courts.
