"They are the biggest election fraudsters, although Brazil did a pretty good job, right? Did you see that one? That's not good," Trump said at a campaign rally in Texas.
The second round of Brazil's presidential election took place with incumbent president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva emerging as the winner.
Initially, Flavio Bolsonaro stated that he would not recognize the election results and would challenge the results of the presidential election.
However, according to a report by Folha de S.Paulo, Bolsonaro withdrew his demand after being pressured by supporters and lawyers about the legal flaws of the request and the associated institutional risks.
a Brazilian court ordered Bolsonaro to surrender his passport as part of a money laundering investigation, according to a report by the G1 news portal.
Bolsonaro denied the allegations and called the reports "fake news."
Bolsonaro was reported to have left Brazil, while the White House stated that the United States would issue visas for Flavio Bolsonaro and his family.
