WASHINGTON (June 21, 2025)- The Washington Post reported that “a son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro is working closely with the White House to impose sanctions on a Brazilian Supreme Court justice set to preside over his father’s upcoming trial on charges of leading an attempted coup.”
The sanctions could further escalate a diplomatic feud between the U.S. and Brazil after Trump proposed a 50% tariff on Brazil.
For more context on the matter, please consider Natalia Dinello, Director of Global Residencies Programs at GW’s Graduate School of Political Management. Dinello is an expert in comparative politics and campaigns. Dinello can discuss politics existing outside of the United States, specifically elections, as well as the influence of the U.S. on outside elections, and outside elections of the U.S.
In addition, Dinello is closely following developments in Brazil and the U.S.- Brazil relations as she is planning a GW Student Program in Brazil for the upcoming year.
