MEXICO CITY—Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro said on Saturday he plans to return to Brazil “in the coming weeks,” after having spent more than a month in the United States.

Bolsonaro flew to Florida two days before Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was sworn in as the new president on Jan. 1, and later applied for a six-month tourist visa to continue his stay in the United States.
