The CIA director William Burns urged Jair Bolsonaro to stop questioning his country’s voting system, it has been claimed, amid growing fears the Brazilian president might refuse to accept defeat in this year’s election.
Polls suggest Bolsonaro, a far-right populist famed for his adulation of Donald Trump, will struggle to secure a second term when about 150 million Brazilians head to the polls in October to choose their next leader.

On Thursday, Reuters claimed that last year the CIA chief had told top Bolsonaro officials their president should stop casting doubt on Brazil’s voting system during an “intimate” private encounter in the capital, Brasília.

When the meeting took place, in July last year, Bolsonaro hinted Burns’s visit was partly motivated by US concern over the political situation in neighbouring countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. However, Reuters claimed Burns had voiced concern over the situation in Brazil, telling two of Bolsonaro’s closest allies that “the democratic process was sacred, and that Bolsonaro should not be talking in that way” about the election.
