Donald Trump imposed a 50% import tax on Brazil, specifically linking the move to the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro is facing charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2022 election results. Trump previously referred to Bolsonaro as a friend and expressed discontent with the trial, calling it a "Witch Hunt". The Brazilian top electoral court has rendered Bolsonaro ineligible for future office until 2030. This measure raises questions about the underlying motivations behind the tariff decision, possibly reflecting personal grudges.
"This Trial should not be taking place. It is a Witch Hunt that should end IMMEDIATELY!" Trump criticized the ongoing trial against Bolsonaro in his communication.
Brazil's top electoral court has ruled Bolsonaro ineligible to run for office until 2030, citing abuse of power and casting doubts on the electronic voting system.
