路透佛羅里達州棕櫚灘10月31日電——美國總統唐納・川普（Donald Trump）週六晚間表示，落敗的巴西總統候選人弗拉維奧・波索納洛（Flavio Bolsonaro）可以無限期留在美國。PALM BEACH, Florida, Oct 31 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Saturday evening that defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro can stay in the United States indefinitely.

川普是在佛羅里達州海湖莊園俱樂部的萬聖節派對上對記者發表上述說法。這番言論顯示，即使美國國務卿馬可・盧比歐（Marco Rubio）當天稍早已與巴西最高外交官員通話，西半球兩個最大民主國家之間的關係仍可能在一段時間內持續緊繃。The comments, made to reporters during a Halloween party at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, suggest that relations between the Western Hemisphere's two largest democracies may remain strained for some time, even as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Brazil's top diplomat earlier in the day.

川普談到波索納洛時說：「他想在這裡待多久都可以。」波索納洛在多數民調中領先，卻輸給左派現任總統魯易斯・伊納西奧・魯拉・達席爾瓦（Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva）後離開巴西。川普說：「在我看來，這場選舉是一場恥辱。」"He can stay here as long as he wants," Trump said of Bolsonaro, who left Brazil after losing the election to leftist incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, despite leading in most opinion polls. "In my opinion, the election was a disgrace."

巴西駐美大使館未立即回應媒體詢問。The Brazilian embassy in Washington did not immediately return a request for comment.

外部觀察人士形容這場選舉自由且公平。波索納洛決定前往美國之前，巴西最高法院一名大法官在他敗選後不久作出裁定，撤銷他的護照；這名候選人在巴西面臨兩起聯邦洗錢調查，當地警方認為他有潛逃風險。Outside observers described the election as free and fair. Bolsonaro's decision to go to the US followed a ruling by a Brazilian Supreme Court justice to revoke his passport shortly after his loss, as the candidate faces a pair of federal money-laundering probes in Brazil and police there considered him a flight risk.

路透社此前報導，他是以人道假釋身分獲准進入美國；這種身分通常僅維持一年。He was admitted to the United States under humanitarian parole, Reuters has previously reported, a status that typically only lasts for one year.

盧比歐週六稍早曾表示，他在亞特蘭大舉行的二十國集團會議上與巴西外交部長毛羅・維埃拉（Mauro Vieira）交談，兩人將在幾週後再次見面。Rubio had said earlier on Saturday that he spoke with Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira at a Group of 20 meeting in Atlanta, and that they would see each other again in a few weeks.

盧比歐對記者表示，他和維埃拉預計下個月將在法國舉行的七國集團（G7）外長峰會上再度碰面；他並指出，巴西預計將以觀察員身分出席這場會議。這番話先前顯示雙方可能和解。In comments that had pointed to a potential rapprochement, Rubio told journalists that he and Vieira were expected to see each other again in France at a G7 foreign ministers' summit that will take place next month. Brazil is expected to attend the meeting as an observer, he noted.

一名美國官員和一名知情人士告訴路透社，儘管川普允許這名巴西政治人物進入美國，但他目前沒有計畫支持波索納洛的政治抱負；波索納洛自稱是巴西的合法領袖。川普週六表示，他沒有與波索納洛會面的計畫。A US official and a person familiar with the matter have told Reuters that Trump has no current plans to support the political ambitions of Bolsonaro — who has described himself as Brazil's rightful leader — despite allowing the Brazilian politician into the US. Trump on Saturday said he has no plans to meet with Bolsonaro.

盧比歐週六表示，美國政府「並未直接參與任何導致」波索納洛本週稍早離開巴西的「行動」。不過，路透社和其他數家媒體報導，白宮官員傑森・米勒（Jason Miller）協助安排了波索納洛的行程。Rubio said on Saturday that the US government "was not involved directly in any of the moves" that led to Bolsonaro's departure from Brazil earlier this week. However, Reuters and several other media outlets have reported that Jason Miller, a White House official, helped arrange Bolsonaro's journey.

波索納洛的父親、極右翼前總統雅伊爾・波索納洛（Jair Bolsonaro），因2022年競選連任失利後密謀發動政變，目前在巴西入獄。魯拉本人也曾在2018年和2019年因貪腐指控入獄17個月，相關指控後來被撤銷。Bolsonaro's father, far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro, is imprisoned in Brazil for plotting a coup after losing his own re-election bid in 2022. Lula himself spent 17 months in jail in 2018 and 2019 on corruption charges that were later annulled.
