Some say it's politically motivated retaliation, while others believe it's a way to economically target a country that, under its current government, has been favoring dictatorships and communists, attacking freedom of expression, and going after American companies, especially those in the tech sector. So, what do you think about this?
Brazil is not a dictatorship country but the country is part of BRICS, so United States will be referring to Brazil getting closer to countries like China, Russia and Iran which are part of BRICS countries. Trump is doing this after the BRICS summit which was just held last week in Brazil. I think United States does not need to be hostile Brazil like this.
Brazil has recently been living in a state that's almost a dictatorship, but one led by the judiciary, which manages to make various maneuvers in favor of political spectrums that suit its interests. A clear example of this was the maneuver to release the current president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who had been convicted of corruption but had his case reset to zero through judicial actions. It's sad to see what's happening.
