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

poder360.com.br (Portuguese) —

US President Donald Trump said Senator Flávio Bolsonaro can stay in the United States as long as he wants, stating the Brazilian was treated "very badly" and is welcome in the country. Trump said he has no plans to meet him in Florida. Trump made the remarks at his Mar-a-Lago club, also criticizing Brazil's presidential election won by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on October 25, calling it "a shame" without providing evidence of irregularities. The statement came as Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied direct US involvement in Flávio's departure from Brazil. Flávio fled Brazil on October 27 with his family after a federal police request to seize his passport, citing threats from Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. He lost the presidential runoff to Lula, who received 51.79% of votes against Flávio's 48.21%.
