Bolsonaro's Legal Troubles


247 - US President Donald Trump once again put pressure on Brazil and sent a letter to Jair Bolsonaro (PL), saying that the ally is the target of"attacks" from an "unfair system".

"This trial needs to stop immediately," he said via the social network Truth Social, owned by Trump's economic conglomerate, which referred to the investigation into the coup plot conducted by the Federal Supreme Court (STF).

The US president had sent a letter to President Lula on the 9th and cited the case against Bolsonaro as one of the justifications for announcing the 50% tariff increase on Brazilian exports.

The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) also responded to Trump's request and opened a trade investigation into Brazil. The Lula administration is discussing responses to the US-launched trade war.
