Trump not planning to back Bolsonaro's claim to be Brazil's leader, sources say
Trump is withholding support as Brazilian conservatives split over Flavio Bolsonaro’s self-declared leadership claim and his family’s move to the United States.
- The Trump administration confirmed on Thursday it has no plans to back Flavio Bolsonaro's claim as Brazil's leader, despite assisting the defeated candidate's arrival in the United States.

- Some Brazilian conservatives criticized the departure, while Trump questioned the election's conduct, describing it as having a "very bad look."
- Washington seeks to balance keeping options open while maintaining cordial relations with Incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to avoid fresh crises in Brazil.
