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

bbc.com (Spanish) — November 1, 2026 at 07:01 AM UTC

US President Donald Trump said Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro can stay in the United States "as long as he wants," but has no plans to meet with him. Bolsonaro fled to the U.S. after losing Brazil's presidential election. Trump made the remarks Saturday at his Mar-a-Lago club during a Halloween party. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. provided no assistance for Bolsonaro's departure, though Trump granted him a "parole" for provisional entry. Bolsonaro landed in Miami on October 28. Bolsonaro left Brazil after a Supreme Court judge ordered his passport seized amid investigations into alleged financial irregularities and money laundering. President Lula criticized his rival's exit, saying those with nothing to hide have nothing to fear.
