Brazil's ex-President Bolsonaro faces coup trial — here's what to know
Tuesday, 2 September 2025 () Brazil's Supreme Court begins the verdict and sentencing phase of Jair Bolsonaro's coup trial Tuesday, with the former president facing a possible 40-year sentence.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has drawn a firm line in the sand after the United States imposed hefty 50% tariffs on Brazilian exports. In a striking interview with Reuters, Lula declared he won’t initiate talks with President Trump that might “humiliate” his nation—saying he’ll only engage if he senses genuine willingness to negotiate. Brazil isn't retaliating with reciprocal tariffs but is pursuing WTO consultations and prepping domestic support for affected industries. Lula also unveils plans to mobilize BRICS partners like India and China for a coordinated response.
Firmly asserting Brazil’s economic sovereignty, he criticized Trump’s interference in a sovereign country’s legal affairs, particularly related to the prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Emphasizing mutual respect in diplomacy, Lula called for dignified engagement-pointing to Trump’s public humiliations of other world leaders as unacceptable conduct. He’s offering negotiation-but on his terms only.

Brazil's political crisis deepens as lawmakers in Congress stage a dramatic protest against the Supreme Court's decision to place former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest for violating a social media ban. Members from six major right-wing parties—including PL, PP, PSD, Novo, and Republicans—taped their mouths shut and threatened to occupy the plenary halls of both the House and Senate. Flávio Bolsonaro denounced the judiciary’s actions as a targeted assault on his family, while senior MPs demanded total amnesty and even impeachment of Minister Alexandre de Moraes. With threats of “war” from Bolsonaro’s allies and growing public anger, Brazil faces a possible constitutional showdown.

On the eve of his China visit, President Vladimir Putin warned the U.S. and the West against trying tocripple Russia’s economy with sanctions. Acknowledging recession risks due to oil curbs and the war in Ukraine, Putin emphasized Russia’s unity with China, declaring joint opposition to “discriminatory sanctions.” As the U.S. and Europe push for a Ukraine peace deal, Putin is instead rallying support from China, India, and Brazil. With record $245B trade between Moscow and Beijing, Putin thanked Xi for backing Russia against isolation.
