Brazil’s political crisis just went global. Former President Jair Bolsonaro has been placed under house arrest by Brazil’s Supreme Court for allegedly plotting a coup to stay in power after losing the 2022 election. But the arrest has sparked international outrage — especially from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who blasted the move as a “witch hunt” targeting one of his closest allies.
In retaliation, the U.S. administration has imposed a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, linking it directly to Bolsonaro’s legal case. Trump and U.S. officials are calling out Brazil’s judiciary for “silencing” Bolsonaro and demanding that he be allowed to speak publicly.

Chaos erupts in Brazil as thousands of Bolsonaro supporters flood the streets of São Paulo, waving U.S. flags and chanting "SOS Trump." The protests turned violent as demonstrators raged against President Lula and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes—who is presiding over Bolsonaro's coup trial.
In a stunning move, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian imports and sanctioned the top judge, calling the trial a "witch hunt" against his far-right ally Bolsonaro. The political earthquake has triggered global backlash and ignited fears of escalating unrest across Latin America.
Watch the full report for on-ground protest visuals, Trump’s statement, and what this means for Brazil–U.S. relations.

A fiery protest erupted outside the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia as Brazilian students, workers, political parties, and social movements came together to oppose President Donald Trump’s newly imposed tariffs. The demonstrators, chanting “Trump’s paws off Brazil,” accused Trump of economic aggression and denounced Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for allegedly siding with U.S. interests over national sovereignty.
Waving banners and flags, protesters vowed to defend Brazil’s economy from what they called “imperialist interference,” promising to take the matter to diplomatic and legal platforms. One protester passionately declared the need to “bury Bolsonarism,” signaling rising domestic discontent with U.S.-Brazil relations. Brazil’s government has already announced plans to challenge the tariffs on international legal grounds. The protest not only highlighted economic fears but also symbolized growing resistance to what many see as external pressure dictating Brazil’s policy. The fiery slogans and symbolic defiance mark a bold moment in Brazil’s struggle for economic independence.

Anti-Trump Protests: A firestorm of protest has erupted at Brazil’s University of São Paulo as students, civil society groups, lawyers, and social leaders rally to defend Brazilian sovereignty against a fresh round of punitive U.S. tariffs. The protest, led by legal scholars like Celso Campilongo and Ana Elisa Bechara, targeted Donald Trump’s aggressive decision to impose a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods starting August 1 — a move widely seen as a political message to support his ally, Jair Bolsonaro.
Protesters gathered under banners proclaiming “Long Live Brazilian Sovereignty,” calling the move a direct attack on Brazil’s democracy and independence. Tensions are soaring as Washington brushes aside a longstanding trade surplus and centuries-old ties. The U.S. claims of judicial persecution against Bolsonaro have only fueled Brazil's outrage. The message from São Paulo is clear: Brazil refuses to be intimidated. The world is watching as the sovereignty battle unfolds.

In a dramatic display of low-tech defense, Russian troops reportedly shot down six Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using assault rifles during an attempted drone attack on a freight train in the Zaporozhye Region. The encounter, captured on video and shared by RT, shows soldiers firing directly at incoming drones — destroying them mid-air before they could reach their target.
The freight train was secured, and no damage was reported. According to Russian sources, this marks an increase in Ukraine’s drone attacks on civilian infrastructure — a trend Moscow says it will counter with any means necessary.
