TREE NEWS update: US President Donald Trump said on the evening of October 31 at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida that he does not plan to meet Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of Brazil’s former president who fled to the US after an electoral defeat, but that the younger Bolsonaro may stay in the country “as long as he wants.” Trump made the remarks to reporters.
Trump Says No Meeting Planned With Flávio Bolsonaro, Who May Stay in US Indefinitely
Trump's public signal that Flávio Bolsonaro can remain in the US indefinitely, while explicitly declining a meeting, separates hospitality from endorsement — a distinction that matters for a figure whose political relevance in Brazil is tied to his father's movement. The remarks give Bolsonaro's US presence an implicit presidential tolerance without formal backing, which could shape how Brazilian courts and political rivals frame his status. Whether that tolerance translates into any formal immigration posture, or remains a casual aside, is the open question worth watching.
