Flávio Bolsonaro has left Brazil following a political defeat, while United States officials confirmed he will be granted a visa.
The departure comes immediately after Brazil's Supreme Court directed Bolsonaro to surrender his passports amid an ongoing money laundering investigation. While the broader Brazilian opposition has accepted the recent election victory of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Flávio Bolsonaro has refused to concede the outcome.
Meanwhile, international reactions to the political shift have emerged. US President Donald Trump publicly characterized the Brazilian vote as "rigged" without presenting supporting evidence, aligning with the diplomatic development regarding the visa approval.
