Brazil capital attack complicates US relationship with Bolsonaro

The former Brazilian president has taken up residence in Florida, and some Democrats are calling for his visa to be revoked

The future of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, who flew to Florida in his last days in office, is emerging as a potential diplomatic issue between Brazil and the US amid calls for his expulsion for inciting insurrection.

Bolsonaro has distanced himself from the mob which stormed government buildings in the capital, Brasilia, on Sunday, denying accusations from his successor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, that he had encouraged the rioters from the US.
