Where this statement fits
Trump says he would approve U.S. entry for Flávio Bolsonaro
Trump says he would approve of Flávio Bolsonaro coming to the United States. Lula condemns his opponent's departure from Brazil, and Joaquin Castro objects to what he calls U.S. safe haven. Simón Levy welcomes Bolsonaro leading the opposition from the United States. Argentina later records his entry and a flight bound for Ecuador, after an earlier BBC report placed him in Florida. The disagreement concerns whether leaving Brazil and being welcomed by the United States are justified amid investigations and reported passport restrictions.
