247 - Ministers of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) assess that the Court's role in the coup plot, including the conviction of former President Jair Bolsonaro, has become for the President of the United States, Donald Trump, a"minor" or "secondary" problem, compared to the trade issues involving Brazil. This information is from journalist Luísa Martins, from the channel CNN Brasil.

The perception in the Court is that, after the productive meeting this Sunday (26) between President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Trump, in Malaysia, there is a greater margin for the revocation of sanctions and the Magnitskty Law against STF ministers and Minister Alexandre de Moraes, according to the report.

Behind the scenes at the Supreme Court, federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), who, from the US, incites sanctions against Brazil, is seen as isolated and that he is weakened, according to CNN.

According to Reuters, Lula asked Trump during the meeting to suspend sanctions under the Magnitsky Act on Brazilian authorities.
