Rubio says Trump administration did not help Bolsonaro flee Brazil to US

What happened: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration did not help Brazil's Flavio Bolsonaro flee to the US after his run-off loss to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro arrived in Miami on Wednesday. Key numbers: Bolsonaro lost the October 25 election. He was admitted under humanitarian parole, a status that typically lasts one year. Why it matters: Trump said Bolsonaro can stay in the US indefinitely, and the report said his comments suggested relations between the two largest democracies in the Western Hemisphere may remain strained for some time.
