US Foreign Policy: Trump: Brazil's election loser Bolsonaro can stay in the US
The US President calls the election in Brazil "a shame". The comments are likely to further strain relations between the two largest democracies in the Americas.
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.
