After Losing the Brazilian Presidency, Trump Agrees to Receive Bolsonaro

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he agrees to the arrival of Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro in the United States.

Trump told reporters, "Well, I agree with that. I think they are good people. The elections were very strange, and I think they were terrible."

He added, "They have been met with bad reviews. Look at what happened to their market."

Bolsonaro had left Brazil heading to the United States after losing the presidential election held on Sunday.

Reuters reported yesterday, Tuesday, that a senior US State Department official said the department would grant him and his family entry visas.

The official did not confirm whether Bolsonaro was actually heading to the United States.

Earlier on Tuesday, two sources mentioned that Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro left the country heading to the United States, following his loss in the presidential election held on Sunday, and his refusal to comply with a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports.

The US Embassy in Brazil did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and Bolsonaro's lawyer refused to make any statement.

Bolsonaro was expected to win the presidential election held on Sunday, but he suffered a surprising defeat against his leftist rival, current President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
