US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that President Donald Trump’s administration did not help Brazil’s defeated presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro flee to the United States after he lost a run-off to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

“We didn’t facilitate anything,” Rubio told reporters on Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia, where diplomats from the Group of 20 largest world economies were gathered. Trump said Bolsonaro “got treated very shabbily, very shabbily” and “can stay here as long as he wants”, speaking to reporters at his Florida residence on Saturday.
