President Donald Trump suggested Monday that Brazil's presidential election was "rigged," setting himself apart from world leaders who have congratulated President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on his reelection.
Trump's comments came a day after Lula defeated right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro in a runoff that secured the Brazilian leader a fourth, nonconsecutive term. Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, has refused to concede.
