US Senators Urge Rubio to Respect Brazil's Elections
Original: Shaheen, Kaine, Welch Call on Secretary Rubio to Respect Free Elections in Brazil
Senators Jeanne Shaheen, Tim Kaine and Peter Welch have called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to respect free elections in Brazil. The three Democratic lawmakers issued the appeal through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, pressing the Trump administration's top diplomat to back democratic processes in the South American country amid tensions between Washington and Brasília.
Why now: Ongoing friction between the US and Brazil over elections and political interference has put American officials' statements about Brazilian democracy in the spotlight.
