Trump says Flavio Bolsonaro can stay in US 'as long as he wants'

Trump said Flávio Bolsonaro can remain in the United States as long as he wants after the Trump administration approved visas for him and his family.

  • On Saturday, October 31, 2026, US President Donald Trump stated at his Mar-a-Lago club that Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro may remain in the United States "as long as he wants," though Trump has no plans to meet him.
  • Bolsonaro traveled to the United States after losing the October 25, 2026, presidential runoff to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who secured 51.79% of the vote compared to Bolsonaro's 48.21%.
  • A Federal Police investigation into the senator involves allegations of corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion tied to a sports-betting company and banker Daniel Vorcaro. Bolsonaro denies wrongdoing, and an investigation is not a conviction.
  • Bolsonaro arrived at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, with his family. Trump approved visas for the senator and his family during the week following the October 25 runoff.
  • Trump and Bolsonaro previously met in the Oval Office on May 26, 2026, yet markets remain skeptical of another encounter. Prediction platform Polymarket priced a 2026 meeting at 22.5% as of October 31, 2026.
