The Brazilian Supreme Court justice’s order could complicate efforts to negotiate over President Trump’s punishing tariffs, set to go into effect this week.

Former President Jair Bolsonaro is on trial before the Supreme Court on charges he conspired with allies to violently overturn his 2022 electoral loss to leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

The president typically ties his tariffs to trade policy, but he hit Brazilian products with the highest rate of any country's goods largely due to politics.
