  "account": "On 31 October 2026, former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Brazilian conservative senator Flávio Bolsonaro is welcome to remain in the United States as long as he wishes. The remarks came after the U.S. administration had already granted Flávio a visa. The comments were made at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, where Trump indicated he has no intention of meeting Flávio. Flávio, the son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, lost the October 25, 2026 Brazilian presidential runoff to incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who secured 51.79% of the vote compared to Flávio's 48.21%. Brazil's Supreme Court declared Lula the winner. Flávio was ordered to surrender his passports by Brazil's electoral court, but he left Brazil for Argentina on October 27, then took a private charter flight to Miami, where he landed on October 28. His family accompanied him, and the Trump administration approved visas for them. Despite the visa approval, there is no indication that Trump plans to receive Flávio in person. Flávio is currently under investigation in Brazil for alleged corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion related to a sports-betting company and a disgraced banker. He denies any wrongdoing. Polymarket, a prediction market, priced the likelihood of a meeting between Trump and Flávio at 22.5% as of October 31, 2026, indicating it is unlikely but possible.",
