US, Australia Suspend Brazil Diplomatic Operations Before Election

The US suspended consular services in Brazil and Australia closed its embassy in Brasilia two days before Sunday's presidential election, citing security threats. Brazilian police found no evidence of a credible threat after searches in Sao Paulo and the Federal District. The closures have sparked claims of foreign interference in the race between incumbent Lula da Silva and Senator Flavio Bolsonaro.
