Allies of the former president evaluated, even before the operation (18) against him, that the US President would decree sanctions against Minister Alexandre de Moraes () before August 1.
The date was established by Trump so that the 50% surcharge on Brazilian exports will be in force.
The bet was that the American could suspend this sanction to the country in exchange for directly punishing Moraes, through the so -called Magnitsky Law.
With the search operation by PF and the imposition of precautionary measures to Bolsonaro, Trump’s retreat in taxation on Brazil has become a doubt.
Punishment of Moraes is expected to be decreed until the beginning of next week. According to a person close to the Bolsonaro family, and contacting the US government, the White House saw the operation as a provocation specifically directed to Trump.
