US President Donald Trump has expressed concerns over possible fraud in Brazil’s recent presidential election. He described the vote counting process and the extended timeline as unusual. While acknowledging his close ties with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Trump criticized the conduct of the election process. Kathmandu, October 27.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Trump stated he was not supporting any candidate but noted that certain aspects of the electoral process appeared suspicious to him. “I thought it was all very bad. I wasn’t biased toward anyone. But this seemed like another rigged election,” he said.
Trump also questioned the method of vote counting and the extension of the election timeframe, calling these developments unusual and indicative of irregularities. “I like Lula. We have a good relationship. But the whole election process looked very bad,” he added.
He emphasized that Brazil is not a country under his jurisdiction and that his primary focus remains on governing the United States. In the Brazilian presidential election, 80-year-old leftist leader Lula da Silva was elected for the fourth time, narrowly defeating liberal party leader and far-right rival Flávio Bolsonaro. However, no concrete evidence has yet been presented to confirm allegations of fraud in the election.
