Summary:A letter from the White House to the President of Brazil addresses Brazil's treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro as an "international disgrace" and a "Witch Hunt." It accuses Brazil of attacking free elections and free speech through unlawful censorship orders against U.S. social media platforms, including threats of fines and eviction from the Brazilian social media market. The letter announces a 50% tariff on all Brazilian products, effective August 1, 2025, due to these actions and long-standing unfair trade practices. It also offers the alternative of no tariffs if Brazil or Brazilian companies choose to build or manufacture products within the United States.
