USA: Why Trump is protecting the Bolsonaro clan
The US President helped the convicted Brazilian ex-President Jair Bolsonaro - now he's supporting his son who has fled. This action has a method. What's behind it?
Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has fled to the US after his father's loss in the Brazilian presidential election. Flávio Bolsonaro landed at a private airport in Opa-locka, north of Miami, with his wife and two daughters, and claimed he was still the "head of state" of Brazil. US President Donald Trump said he would not intervene in the case, despite previously questioning the election results and expressing support for Bolsonaro.
The Brazilian judiciary has ordered investigations into Flávio Bolsonaro's possible financial support from abroad, including from the Rockbridge Network, co-founded by US Vice President J.D. Vance.
