US President Donald Trump on July 30 announced he would increase tariffs on Brazilian imports from 10 to 50 percent citing the trial of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for his alleged coup attempt following his loss in the 2022 Brazilian presidential elections. The Trump administration called Bolsonaro's prosecution "politically motivated" and imposed personal sanctions on the Supreme Court judge overseeing the former president's trial.

Let’s mind our own business in this case.
BTW, China is exerting substantial influence in Brazil across trade, investment, infrastructure, diplomacy, and politics.
Just another tariff deal in the works, and there are plenty more to go.
What the bastards did in Brazill was offensive. Not content with brazenly stealing the election they are trying to put Bolsonaro in jail for to objecting to it. It is exactly what they tried to do to Trump. I’m proud of Trump for not letting them do it without consequence.
Nayib Bukele, Javier Milei and Benjamin Netanyahu are on Trump's side. Everyone else is woke/socialist/communist (except for Muslims)
They make a lot of jets down there. $$$$ for tariffs!
“”BTW, China is exerting substantial influence in Brazil across trade, investment, infrastructure, diplomacy, and politics.””
Guess who else, or which nefarious billionaire, has been “exerting influence” (nice way of putting it) in Brazil for decades now.
Let’s not, Bolsonara was clearly cheated. Much more obvious than even Trumps coup. These 3rd scum need to be kicked around. If we don’t no one will
Brazil charges up to %35 on US imports and then adds up to 18% VAT tax on top of that. It probably doesn’t help their case that they are a member of the trade group that includes Russia and China.
Surrender monkey.
Bolsonaro also stood up for President Trump during his ordeal.
No. This is a major fight. A corrupt nation, run by a judge, joining a gangster group trying to overthrow our currency.
“They make a lot of jets down there.” (Embraer)
Jet parts and orange juice were specifically exempted. They have clearly considered potential impacts on US businesses and consumers.
“Let’s mind our own business in this case.”
Nah, let’s not. Let’s drop dummies from helicopters across Brazil with Lula da Silva’s face.
