Trump calls Bolsonaro's victory a "great victory" and expects a close second round

U.S. President Donald Trump hailed the narrow victory of Brazilian opposition candidate Flávio Bolsonaro in the first round of Brazil's presidential election as a 'great victory' and predicted a closely contested runoff against leftist incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. During a press briefing at the White House, Trump emphasized that the second-round race would be 'very tight.' Bolsonaro won the first round by just two percentage points over Lula. The U.S. State Department confirmed that a runoff would take place, though it remained uncertain how it would unfold. The Lula administration has accused the Trump administration of interfering in Brazil's election in favor of Bolsonaro, who is the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally of Trump, convicted of attempting a coup. Earlier this month, the United States suspended consular services in Brazil due to 'security concerns,' which were later resumed after the election. Since returning to power in January 2025, Trump has supported right-wing candidates across Latin America and claimed credit for their victories.
