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

newsbomb.gr (Greek) —

US President Donald Trump said Saturday that Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro may stay in the US "as long as he wants," speaking to reporters at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, and adding he does not plan to meet him. Bolsonaro fled Brazil to avoid prosecution in a money laundering investigation, after losing the presidential election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington had no "direct involvement" in his departure. Bolsonaro, who denies electoral fraud despite refutations, said he left "for the good of Brazil" and plans to run for president again sooner than 2030. His father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, remains under house arrest.
