Trump says Bolsonaro can stay in US as long as he wants, but no meeting planned

estadao.com.br (Portuguese) —

President Donald Trump said he has no plans to meet with defeated Brazilian candidate Flávio Bolsonaro but stated he may stay in the US "as long as he wants," calling his treatment "petty." Trump made the remarks Saturday at a Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago, calling the Brazilian election "a disgrace." Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US didn't facilitate Bolsonaro's exit, claiming he had a valid visa and Trump authorized his entry. Bolsonaro fled Brazil after losing to Lula and after a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports. He briefly declared himself "president-elect" in a letter before revising it.
