Spurred by Bolsonaro's son, Trump mulls sanctions on Brazilian judge
Briefly

Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, is working with the White House to impose sanctions on Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ahead of Bolsonaro's upcoming trial for an alleged coup attempt. The potential sanctions mark a significant escalation in diplomatic tensions between Brazil and the United States, following Trump's recent announcement of tariffs on Brazilian goods. Eduardo Bolsonaro has engaged in meetings with U.S. officials, suggesting that serious decisions regarding these sanctions are being made. Discussions also included the possibility of sanctions on associates of Moraes.
Eduardo Bolsonaro, a Brazilian congressman, stated, 'Things are happening at this exact moment,' referring to sanctions against Justice Alexandre de Moraes. 'Decisions are being made.'
Paulo Figueiredo, a right-wing influencer, claimed that sanctions on 'allies and supporters' of Moraes were discussed, describing Trump's tariffs as 'the beginning of a journey that could be dark for Brazil.'
