President Trump is weaponizing tariffs against Brazil to protect his political ally, Bolsonaro. Maybe Brazil’s investigation hit a little too close to home for a twice-impeached president who also tried to overturn a democratic election.

Image of the congresswoman's statement that reads: “President Trump’s threat to impose a 50 percent tariff on Brazil is a clear abuse of power and the latest example of how he’s weaponizing our country’s trade policies to serve his own interests. “It’s clear that he isn’t using tariffs to address unfair trade practices, he’s abusing them to settle political scores and reward those who support or benefit him. In this case, he’s waging a trade war to protect his political ally, Bolsonaro, who is under investigation for allegedly trying to overturn the results of the 2022 presidential election. This is not only antidemocratic but also corrupt. “It’s time for Congress to put an end to the president’s abuse of tariffs and reclaim our constitutional authority over trade. If we don’t, the president will continue to manipulate the system to benefit himself and his allies at the expense of American workers and interests.”
