Trump says Flávio Bolsonaro can stay in US 'as long as he wants'

gazetadopovo.com.br (Portuguese) —

U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday that Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro can stay in the United States "as long as he wants," but stated he has no plans to meet with him. Trump made the remarks to journalists at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. government was not directly involved in arranging Bolsonaro's departure from Brazil, but confirmed the president made clear the senator would be permitted entry upon arrival. Bolsonaro, his wife, and daughters left Brazil for the U.S. this week after his father's election loss to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The senator's passport was included in a seizure request by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.
