Trump Threatens Brazil with Tariffs Amid Bolsonaro Trial. US President Donald Trump is ramping up tensions with Brazil, announcing plans to impose a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods. In a post shared on social media, Trump accused Brazil of unfairly targeting US tech firms and described the legal proceedings against former president Jair Bolsonaro as a “witch hunt”. Bolsonaro is under investigation for allegedly trying to overturn the 2022 election. Trump also demanded an end to the trial, triggering a sharp response from Brazilian President Lula da Silva. Lula warned that any tariff hike would be matched and stressed Brazil’s judiciary is independent, stating: “No one is above the law.” Earlier this week, Trump also confirmed a 50% tariff on copper imports starting August 1, citing national security.
