Trump Says Brazil Election Looked 'Rigged' After Bolsonaro Loses. U.S. President Donald Trump claimed without providing evidence that Brazil's presidential election looked "rigged" after President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva secured a fourth term. Trump said the result was a "terrible look" but indicated he would not intervene, adding: "I am not running Brazil, I'm running the USA”. Lula defeated right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro, who has refused to concede and called for the election result to be annulled. Bolsonaro questioned a decision by a Lula-appointed Supreme Court justice to extend voting by two hours because of transport delays. Reuters reported fewer than 35,000 votes were cast during the extension, far below Lula's approximately four-million-vote winning margin. Trump questioned the extension but said he liked Lula, despite previous tensions between the two leaders over tariffs and other issues. Flávio Bolsonaro is the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, whom Trump has publicly supported in the past. Some Trump allies also questioned the result, while a Brazilian official expressed confidence Washington would ultimately recognise Lula's victory.
