The United States has announced sanctions against Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing the legal proceedings against former President Jair Bolsonaro. The U.S. government has accused Moraes of serious human rights abuses in relation to his judicial conduct concerning Bolsonaro, a Trump ally. These sanctions are part of a broader geopolitical clash and have sparked reactions within Brazil, where officials have labeled the U.S. actions as arbitrary and unjustifiable. This move reflects ongoing tensions between the U.S., Brazil, and associated political figures linked to both Bolsonaro and Trump.
