- Through lobbying, Eduardo Bolsonaro, who moved to U.S. in March 2025, claims responsibility for the August 1, 2025 tariff hike and sanctions against Brazilian judges.

- Meanwhile, Eduardo Bolsonaro celebrated each new blow against Brazil, while Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva called U.S. sanctions a 'dangerous infringement' on democracy on Tuesday.
- Brazil may study retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, despite facing a trade surplus, analysts note, following Lula's comments on Tuesday.
