US Democratic lawmakers want to stop sending security resources to Brazil if the military interferes in the October elections.

According to the Uol portal, an amendment to the United States’ Annual Defense Budget (NDAA) was proposed to require the US government to investigate whether Brazil’s armed forces interfered in the election.

According to Folha de São Paulo, possible interference in the vote count, manipulation to change the result and participation in false campaigns questioning the electoral system and results through protests, social networks or other means of communication will be investigated..
