Description

Brazil’s former president is under house arrest after its Supreme Court found Jair Bolsonaro had violated social media and political messaging rules. Now on trial for an alleged coup attempt, President Trump has called Bolsonaro’s prosecution a “witch hunt” and hit Brazil with 50% tariffs, an interference President Lula calls a breach to national sovereignty.
