Trump says he approves of Brazil's Flavio Bolsonaro coming to US
Trump said he approved Bolsonaro’s entry as U.S. officials prepared visas for him and his family, despite a Brazilian court order to surrender his passport.
- On Wednesday, United States President Donald Trump approved allowing Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro to enter the United States following his electoral defeat, with visas issued to the senator and his family.
- Flavio's departure followed a Brazilian Supreme Court order from Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre directing him to surrender passports within 24 hours amid ongoing investigations into alleged corruption and money laundering.
- Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews, "Well, I would approve," calling the election "very strange," while Flavio arrived accompanied by his wife Fernanda and their two daughters.
- Brazilian President Lula criticized the departure while addressing supporters outside Alvorada on Tuesday during celebrations marking his 81st birthday, rejecting the senator's exit.
- Reports indicate State Marco Rubio facilitated the departure, though no arrest warrants existed at departure; Flavio remains under investigation regarding online betting and a biopic about Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
