ATLANTA
\nUS Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Washington was not directly involved in Flavio Bolsonaro\u2019s arrangements to leave Brazil after his election loss. President Donald Trump said that Bolsonaro could, however, stay in the United States \u201cas long as he wants.\u201d
\nBolsonaro, who lost his bid to be president in Sunday\u2019s run-off vote, arrived with his family in the US on Wednesday after a court ordered his passports to be seized amid multiple investigations against him. \u201cHe had previously held a visa, and the president made a decision to allow him to enter the country,\u201d Rubio told a press conference in Atlanta, Georgia, where he hosted G20 foreign ministers for a two-day meeting.
\nRubio added that \u201cthe US government was not involved directly\u201d in arrangements Bolsonaro made to leave his country. Following the vote, the 45-year-old bolted from Brazil via Argentina and Ecuador in a plane that some US media, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, reported was chartered by Jason Miller, an adviser to Trump.
\nThe White House has not commented on the flight, but Trump has called the Brazilian election \u201cdisgraceful.\u201d Speaking to reporters at his Florida residence on Saturday, Trump said he had no plans to meet Bolsonaro but voiced sympathy for the rightist senator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
