> Brazil has concluded a fierce election in which left-wing incumbent Lula da Silva defeated Flávio Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro has refused to accept the result, while President Trump called it “terrible” and “rigged.” The outcome breaks a run of right-wing victories across South America, including candidates aligned with Trump.
