United States President Donald Trump declined to say if he agreed with the outcome of Sunday’s presidential elections in Brazil, but said he thought the contest was a “disgrace”.
特朗普在周四上午接受记者提问时说:“我认为这次选举让巴西人民感到非常尴尬。我观看了选举过程,没有站队,也没有偏袒。我被现任总统要求不要站队。但当我看到巴西发生的事情时,简直是耻辱……看看他们的市场,市场直接跌到谷底。”特朗普的言论出现在前巴西参议员弗拉维奥·博尔索纳罗及其家人于周三逃离巴西、抵达美国佛罗里达州迈阿密的次日。
“I thought the election was a great embarrassment to the people of Brazil,” Trump said in response to a question from a reporter on Thursday morning. “I watched the election. I didn’t take sides. I let it be. I was asked not to take sides by the president, the current president,” he said. “But when I watched what went down in Brazil, it was a disgrace…take a look at the market, I mean their market went down through the floor.”Trump’s remarks came a day after former Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro and his family fled Brazil and landed in Miami, Florida, in the US on Wednesday.
《纽约时报》周四报道,博尔索纳罗及其家人在离开巴西的过程中得到了特朗普及其政府的帮助。官员向该报透露,美国政府可能会为博尔索纳罗一家提供永久居留权。
Bolsonaro and his family were aided in their journey out of Brazil by Trump and his administration, the New York Times reported Thursday. Officials told the newspaper that the US government would likely provide the Bolsonaro family permanent residency.
周日,博尔索纳罗在巴西总统选举的第二轮投票中以超过四百万票的差距输给了左翼在任总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达·席尔瓦。选举后,巴西雷亚尔在即期交易中对美元贬值了12%。
On Sunday, Bolsonaro had lost a run-off election for Brazil’s president to the left-wing incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva by more than four million votes. The Brazilian real dropped against the dollar by 12 percent in spot trading after the election.
巴西最高法院在选举后不久下令博尔索纳罗交出常规护照和外交护照,试图确保这位右翼参议员在被调查挪用公款和洗钱之前不会逃离该国。
Brazil‘s Supreme Court had ordered Bolsonaro to surrender his regular and diplomatic passports shortly after the election, in an attempt to make sure the right-wing senator did not flee the country before he could be investigated for embezzlement and money laundering.
博尔索纳罗在夜色掩护下离开巴西,携妻子和两个女儿经陆路进入阿根廷,阿根廷政府在特朗普的右翼盟友哈维尔·米莱伊总统的批准下为他们签发了签证。随后一家人乘坐一架小型私人飞机前往厄瓜多尔,随后再飞往迈阿密,并于周三上午抵达。
Bolsonaro left Brazil under cover of darkness, crossing by land with his wife and two daughters into Argentina, where the government of Trump’s right-wing ally President Javier Milei had granted them visas. The family then took a small private plane to Ecuador and later on to Miami, where they landed on Wednesday morning.
落地后不久,博索纳罗发表声明,称自己是“巴西真正当选的总统”,针对他的指控是“出于政治动机的猎巫”。他要求国际社会“不要将巴西正在发生的事情正常化”,并表示他将在美国领导该国的反对派。他没有提供支持其说法的证据。博索纳罗所属的自由党周一表示,该党接受选举结果。
Shortly after landing, Bolsonaro issued a statement saying he was “the true elected president of Brazil” and the allegations against him were “a politically motivated witch-hunt”. He asked the international community “not to normalise what is happening in Brazil” and said he would lead the country’s opposition from the US. He did not provide evidence supporting his claims. Bolsonaro’s own Liberal Party said on Monday that it was accepting the outcome of the election.
尽管巴西和美国几十年前就签订了引渡条约,但尚不清楚华盛顿是否会交出博索纳罗,也不清楚巴西当局是否真的会起诉他并提出引渡请求。周三,巴西最高法院驳斥了已对其住所发出搜查令的传言。
Although Brazil and the US have had an extradition treaty for several decades, it is unclear if Washington would turn over Bolsonaro, or whether Brazilian authorities would actually indict him and ask for such a move. On Wednesday, Brazil’s Supreme Court dispelled rumours that a search warrant had been issued for his home.
弗拉维奥的父亲、巴西前总统雅伊尔·博索纳罗在2022年竞选连任失败后,也踏上了前往佛罗里达的非常相似的旅程。他在美国期间,老博索纳罗的支持者试图策划政变。巴西国内一些人曾呼吁该国向美国寻求引渡他。他后来返回巴西,目前在那里被软禁。
Flavio’s father, Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro, undertook a very similar journey to Florida after he lost his bid for re-election in 2022. While he was in the US, the elder Bolsonaro’s supporters attempted to orchestrate a coup. Some in Brazil had called for the country to seek his extradition from the US. He later returned to Brazil and is currently under house arrest there.
