Story summary

As of October 30, 2026, Flávio Bolsonaro, the Brazilian senator and son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, fled to the United States via Argentina after losing the presidential election to incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. According to reports, Bolsonaro left Brazil on Tuesday evening without officially conceding defeat and was reportedly seeking political asylum in the U.S., where he received a visa from the State Department. Relations between Brazil and Argentina have become strained over this incident; Brazil's foreign ministry summoned Argentina’s representative after accusing them of not questioning Bolsonaro about his travel, despite Argentina's migration authorities denying that any such request was made.
