U.S. President Donald Trump has said he would approve Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro travelling to the United States, while describing Brazil’s recent presidential election as “very strange”, according to a Reuters report published on October 28, 2026.
Flavio Bolsonaro reportedly left Brazil for the United States after losing Sunday’s presidential election. A senior U.S. State Department official said the department would grant visas to the senator and his family, Reuters reported.
Trump’s remarks came amid questions about political developments in Brazil and the wider international political landscape. His comments signalled support for Flavio Bolsonaro’s proposed visit, although the supplied report did not provide further details about the purpose or duration of his stay in the United States.
The Brazilian senator’s departure follows his defeat in the presidential election, placing renewed attention on the political situation in Brazil and the relationship between its political figures and the Trump administration.
During the same exchange with reporters, Trump was also asked about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s party losing seats in Israel’s election. Trump said he had heard that Netanyahu had done very well.
The comments brought together two separate election developments involving Brazil and Israel, drawing attention to Trump’s public reactions to both.
However, the available report does not provide detailed evidence supporting Trump’s description of Brazil’s election as “very strange”. The statement should therefore be understood as his characterisation rather than an independently established conclusion about the election.
Further details about Flavio Bolsonaro’s U.S. visit and the political implications of the remarks were not included in the supplied report.
