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.

As US President Donald Trump threatens to impose 50 percent tariffs on Latin America's largest economy, protesters in Brazil's economic capital of Sao Paulo rally in defense of jobs, local businesses, and national sovereignty.
The July 9 announcement, in which Trump vows steep tariffs as retaliation for what he calls a "witch hunt" against his far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro, has drawn criticism in Brazil.
Demonstrators stage a symbolic "arrest" of both leaders by dressing up as Trump and Bolsonaro, complete with police uniforms.
