US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US government was not involved in the preparations for Flávio Bolsonaro’s departure from Brazil, according to G1: “We were not involved in any of the agreements or preparations he made to leave the country.

At least, the US government did not directly participate in any of the actions carried out.” Rubio confirmed that President Donald Trump authorized conditional entry (parole) if Flávio arrived at a US point of entry: “The president made clear that, if he arrived in the United States through a point of entry, he would receive conditional entry authorization (parole). And that is what happened.”
