One of the highest tariffs threatened by President Trump so far is against Brazil, with the president citing a criminal prosecution against Jair Bolsonaro.

"I’ll be watching the WITCH HUNT of Jair Bolsonaro, his family, and thousands of his supporters, very closely," Trump stated. "The only Trial that should be happening is a Trial by the Voters of Brazil — It’s called an Election." The one area where Trump and Bolsonaro differ is in their pre-politics past.

For the third time in three months, Donald Trump has identified a foreign ally facing legal trouble. And also for the third time in three months, the American president has condemned the foreign case as a “witch hunt.

Bolsonaro never conceded that he had lost, but according to NPR, he did not block the transfer of power and never outright claimed that he had won the election, as Trump did in 2020 after losing the election to former President Joe Biden. Instead, Bolsonaro left the country for the United States to avoid participating in Lula's inauguration.
