US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro can stay in the US 'as long as he wants', calling Sunday's election 'a disgrace', though he plans no meeting or political backing.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira at Saturday's G20 talks in Atlanta ahead of G7 talks in France.
But he denied direct US involvement in Bolsonaro's exit despite reports White House official Jason Miller helped arrange it.
Granted one-year humanitarian parole, Bolsonaro reached Miami with his family on Wednesday via Argentina and Ecuador.
Trailing by over 4 million votes as President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won 51.8 per cent, he claimed to be 'elected president'. He then revised his statement claiming himself the ‘leader’.
Liberal Party Senate leader Rogerio Marinho called him a 'political exile' but rejected fraud claims, while Lula termed his departure 'shameful'.
Brazil summoned Argentinian chargé d'affaires Maria Emilia Cortes on Thursday, though Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno denied a formal request. Bolsonaro thanked President Javier Milei, whose spokesperson called his transit a 'rescue' from communism.
Lawmaker Agustin Rossi said officials summoned cabinet chief Diego Santilli to provide details to the parliament.
Holding Italian citizenship, Bolsonaro left after Justice Alexandre de Moraes cancelled his Brazilian passports over probes into jailed banker Daniel Vorcaro's $24 million biopic financing on his imprisoned father, Jair Bolsonaro.
