US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday (October 28) he approves of Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro coming to the United States.

"Well, I would approve. I think they're fine people. The election was very strange, and I thought it was terrible," Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews.

Bolsonaro left Brazil for the United States after losing Sunday's (October 25) presidential election and a senior US State Department official said the agency will grant him and his family visas to enter, Reuters reported on Tuesday (October 27).

Trump added he was not sure where Bolsonaro was. One source close to the family said the Brazilian Senator had landed in Florida, but declined to say where.
