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.

Trump urges Brazil to spare its former president over attempted coup​

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.

“Brazil is doing a terrible thing on their treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro,” Trump wrote Monday on Truth Social. “I have watched, as has the World, as they have done nothing but come after him, day after day, night after night, month after month, year after year! He is not guilty of anything, except having fought for THE PEOPLE.”

Well, except for trying to steal the election. Don has a soft spot for people who try.......I'm not sure why.

Trump is coming to the defense of his fellow fascist and despot.

Security forces regain control after Bolsonaro supporters storm Brazil's Congress​

https://www.npr.org/2023/01/08/1147757260/bolsonaro-supporters-storm-brazil-congress-lula

Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Congress and other buildings in the capital of Brasília on Sunday, calling for the military to take over Brazil's government.

By evening, security forces had retaken control of the breached buildings, said Flávio Dino, the minister of justice and public security. Dino said about 200 people had been arrested, while the district's governor said more than 400 had been arrested.

Many Bolsonaro supporters have refused to accept the far-right former leader's defeat in elections more than two months ago to the leftist Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who was sworn in as president a week ago.
