Brazil braced Friday for possible new U.S. sanctions linked to former President Jair Bolsonaro’s conviction on coup charges, after the administration of President Donald Trump warned it would respond “accordingly.”
Brazil’s Foreign Ministry called Rubio’s comments an inappropriate threat that would not intimidate the government, adding that the country’s judiciary is independent and that Bolsonaro was granted due process.
“Threats like the one made today by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a statement that attacks Brazilian authority and ignores the facts and compelling evidence in the case files, will not intimidate our democracy,” Brazil’s foreign office said on X.
While I would agree, prior to 2024, most of us kinda figured someone who was guilty of multiple felonies and was proven to be a crook , a scam artist and a pedophile would be enough marks against him to prevent his election… but here we are.
Are you crazy? From 202 to 2024 the MAGA party has risen in popularity, it was clear that he was gonna get voted.
