Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro said he’ll hold off congratulating Joe Biden on his election victory, echoing U.S. President Donald Trump in alleging fraud at the polls.

“I am waiting a little bit more,” he told reporters on Sunday in Rio de Janeiro. “I have my sources of information that there really was a lot of fraud. Was it enough to define one or the other, I don’t know, and I am holding back a little more.”
