Foreign policy: Trump: Bolsonaro can stay in the US
The US President calls the election in Brazil "a shame". Loser Flavio Bolsonaro should be allowed to stay as long as he wants. This could strain relations between the two countries.
US President Donald Trump has stated that defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro can stay in the US for as long as he wants. This comes after Bolsonaro left Brazil following his loss to incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, and a Brazilian judge ordered the confiscation of his passport due to money laundering allegations.
Bolsonaro was granted a humanitarian parole to enter the US, typically valid for one year. Trump said he has no plans to meet with Bolsonaro, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed the US government was not directly involved in Bolsonaro's departure.
