Brazil will respond to Trump’s 50% tariff with ‘reciprocity,’ says da Silva​

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Wednesday that his country will respond with reciprocity to U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly announced 50% tariff rate on his country’s exports, citing a recently adopted Brazilian law that authorizes the government to take proportional countermeasures.

Trump said Wednesday the U.S. will impose the tariff on imports from Brazil starting Aug. 1, partly in retaliation for the ongoing prosecution of the country’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro.

Trump said in a letter that the new tariff — a massive jump from the 10% rate the U.S. imposed on imports from Brazil in early April — is also a response to the “very unfair trade relationship” between the two countries.

President Donald Trump is coming to the defense of Brazilian former President Jair Bolsonaro as he faces a trial for his role in trying to overturn the results of his country’s 2022 election.

Bolsonaro is accused of participating in a plot to prevent the return of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to the presidency of the largest nation in South America, an attempt that echoed Trump’s own earlier efforts to stay in office despite losing an election.

The glaring difference in the cases of the attempts to overturn elections is Bolsonaro is being held accountable while trump escaped accountability. In no small measure by lawfare, followed by his voting base approving his plot to nullify the votes of the majority of Americans.

Behind Trump’s Decision to Tax Brazil to Save Bolsonaro​

Since March, the son of the former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has been roaming the halls of the White House.

Eduardo Bolsonaro, 41, is a sitting Brazilian congressman, but his latest job has been to convince U.S. officials that a dangerous Brazilian Supreme Court justice wants to throw him and his father into prison, simply for fighting against what they claim was a stolen election.

And in multiple visits to Washington over the past several months, he has found a sympathetic audience.

“This is nothing more, or less, than an attack on a Political Opponent — Something I know much about!” President Trump posted online Monday. “It happened to me, times 10.”

Indeed. Not to mention the lobbying from his kid. He was no doubt told to compliment Dotard as flattery will get you everywhere with Don.

*Note to the mod who locked my prior thread on the subject. If you think referring to trump or Bolsonaro as insurrectionists isn't factual based on all the evidence available to the public you aren't living in the real world.

Bolsonaro is the same kind of Fascist that 47 is.. Leveling tariffs on Brazil for Bolsonaro being held accountable the overthrew of the duly elected government of that country is the kind of thing 47 would do. How dare De Silva do so. Now President De Silva says he will impose tariffs on U.S. goods.

Bolsonaro was a better president than the current one in Brazil. He was one of the few who questioned the Covid-19 narrative, and had the boldness to speak against it. He was also stabbed, and put his life on the line for his country.

How Brazilian Police Say Bolsonaro Plotted A Coup To Stay In Office.

How Brazilian police say Bolsonaro plotted a coup to stay in office

Brazil’s Federal Police have formally accused former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others of plotting a coup to keep him in office.

apnews.com

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s Federal Police in late November formally accused far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others of planning a coup to keep him in office. The agency described a multi-step scheme, substantiated by evidence and testimony, in an 884-page report.

The plan included systematically sowing distrust of the electoral system among the populace, drafting a decree to give the plot a veneer of legal basis, pressuring top military brass to go along with the plan, and inciting a riot in the capital.

Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet will now decide whether to formally charge the accused parties, toss the investigation or request more testimony to understand each person’s participation in different parts of the alleged plot before deciding who stands trial on which counts. Bolsonaro and his main allies have denied any wrongdoing or involvement and accuse the authorities of political persecution.

Former Brazilian President Indicted Over Alleged Coup Plot.

https://www.npr.org/2024/11/21/nx-s1-5199910/brazil-police-indict-former-president-jair-bolsonaro-coup

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Brazil's federal police say the former right-wing president, Jair Bolsonaro, attempted to launch a coup in 2022 to stay in office following his relection defeat. The police indicted 36 other people, as part of what they say was a criminal conspiracy working to keep Bolsonaro in power, after he lost the 2022 election to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Among the dozens allegedly part of the conspiracy are Bolsonaro's former defense minister, who was also his vice-presidential running mate, and a number of former close aides. The Federal Police report called the coup an attempt to "violently dismantle the constitutional state".

The nearly 900-page report now goes to Brazil's Supreme Court to be referred to the attorney general who will decide whether to go ahead and try the former president.

--------------------------------------------------------

YOU posted MAGA MAGGOT Propaganda. I posted the truth. Bolsonaro tried overthrow the duly and democratically elected government of President D De Silva. Your propaganda lies don't fly. IF Bolsonaro had been an honorable man, he would NOT have attempted a coup. My facts are straight up, your propaganda are straight out lies!

Anyone who uses the term "MAGA MAGGOT" is just a straight up troll. Going right on the ignore list. I won't engage or waste my time with anyone who uses those stupid, silly pre-school terms.
