Ada Derana reports that defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro arrived in the United States after Brazil cancelled his passports. Hiru News also reports his arrival, placing it in Miami; Daily Mirror says he landed in the United States on Wednesday.

Newswire’s teaser says the United States had confirmed it would grant Bolsonaro and another party something, but the report text provided ends before specifying what. The supplied reports do not provide further details about what happens next.
