Former Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro’s presence in the U.S. has turned into a diplomatic quandary for President Joe Biden after Bolsonaro's supporters stormed government buildings in Brasilia over the weekend.
A former aide said Monday that Bolsonaro has been hospitalized near Orlando, Florida, with abdominal pains, after being spotted in the area in recent days including at a Publix supermarket and a KFC restaurant.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday that the U.S. hasn’t received an extradition request for Bolsonaro from Brazil. Behind the silence from Brasilia, Biden’s team isn’t weighing its options. Administration officials are considering whether they can do anything to spur Bolsonaro to leave the U.S., according to people familiar with the conversations.
