Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro met briefly on Thursday with the envoy coordinating the transfer of power to Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, four days after Mr Bolsonaro’s tight election loss.

The meeting between Brazil’s far-right outgoing president and vice president-elect Geraldo Alckmin took place at the presidential palace, according to Mr Alckmin, who heads Mr da Silva’s transition team.
