Interventionist isolationist: Donald Trump and Brazil
Update: 2025-08-29
Description
Donald Trump slapped 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods in early August. He did so because the country will soon begin a trial prosecuting its former strongman, and Trump ally, Jair Bolsonaro. America has sanctioned the judge in the case. Will Trump damage relations with an American ally to stick with his friend?
John Prideaux hosts with James Bennet and Ana Lankes.
