Brazil's Lula says 'will veto' bill slashing Bolsonaro sentence

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Thursday he would veto a bill passed by Congress that could slash the jail term of former president Jair Bolsonaro, imprisoned over a failed coup bid.

Brazil's Senate on Wednesday approved the bill which now heads to Lula, who acknowledged his veto could eventually be overridden by Congress.
