U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Washington was not directly involved in arrangements for Flavio Bolsonaro's departure from Brazil after his electoral defeat. Bolsonaro arrived in the U.S. with his family following a court ruling that confiscated his passports. Rubio clarified that while Bolsonaro previously held a visa, the U.S. government did not facilitate his exit. Reports indicate that Bolsonaro fled Brazil via Argentina and Ecuador on a plane allegedly rented by a Trump advisor. Trump criticized the Brazilian elections and expressed sympathy for Flavio Bolsonaro, who claims to be the true leader of Brazil and alleges persecution. Jair Bolsonaro, Flavio's father, is under house arrest for planning a coup after losing the 2022 elections.
