Since 2005, when Bush 2 has imposed specific sanctions against the Venezuelan dictatorship, there was no equal thing. The 50% sanction against Brazil, reaching all national exports, was general, wide and unrestricted.
The first sanctions against Venezuela were punctual, against people. It has 496 words and the 65 of the first paragraph deal with crystal clear clarity: “The way Brazil has treated former president Bolsonaro is an international shame. This judgment should not be happening. It is a witch hunt that should end immediately!” (his emphasis).
The announcement and the defense of the surcharge follows. Using one more parallel reality, Trump said they will compensate for commercial policies that have “caused (…) unsustainable commercial deficits against. This deficit is a great threat to our economy and, in fact, our national security!” Since 2009. The battle suggests that the text did not have the sieve of state department professionals.
Trump’s letter’s guy is Jair Bolsonaro and in one day she worked as a touch of dawn for the opposition to Lula’s government. They were aligned, with varying degrees of clarity, the governors of São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Goiás, all candidates for the succession of Lula.
From the presidents of the House and Senate, with a day late, a note that did not condemn the 50% tariff and spoke of “dialogue”, a word that does not appear in Trump’s letter. On the contrary, what is there is a requirement that “immediately!” Be suspended the “witch hunt” he sees at the trial, by the Federal Supreme Court, Bolsonaro and those involved in the 2022/23 coup plot.
Impartant in the form and commercial objectives, Trump’s letter embodies a novelty: for the first time in history, an American ruler stands as a patron of a candidate for the presidency of Brazil.
Worse, American presidents barely knew their names and never sent a child to battle for him camping in Washington. Undente, in 1964, the general had only the sympathy of the American military attaché, Colonel Vernon Walters, his tent companion in Italy during World War II.
