Lula e Flávio Bolsonaro do Brasil ainda permanecem essencialmente empatados em nova pesquisa.

Messias stated in a social media post that foreign meddling “cannot be tolerated” and that the report represented “an important alert for Brazilian sovereignty”.

O relatório surge em meio a uma eleição presidencial tensa, na qual o presidente de esquerda Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva busca reeleição.

Lula tem buscado chamar atenção para os esforços que Trump tem empreendido para impulsionar as perspectivas de aliados de extrema-direita em toda a América Latina, alertando sobre ameaças à soberania regional.

Trump has endorsed multiple right-wing candidates ahead of elections across the region, sometimes hinging the possibility of economic support on the voting results.

He has also cultivated close relations with the family of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who lost to Lula in the last presidential election.

Bolsonaro’s eldest son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, is a frontrunner in the race to challenge Lula this year. Recent polls have shown Lula and Bolsonaro virtually tied ahead of the first round of voting on October 4.

Flavio Bolsonaro met with Trump at the White House in May. He has promised closer ties with the US, while Lula has positioned himself as a critic of Trump’s interventionist approach to Latin American politics and security.

Os destinatários supostamente incluíam grupos que defendem os Afrikaners brancos na África do Sul, que a administração Trump falsamente retratou como vítimas de um “genocídio”, e esforços no Brasil para combater o que os EUA chamaram de “lawfare e censura”.

Brazil’s Supreme Court has been a subject of frequent criticism from the political right, both in Brazil and the US.

Muitos desses críticos têm origem na condenação de 2025 de Jair Bolsonaro por envolvimento em um suposto plano de golpe, projetado para subverter sua derrota para Lula nas eleições de 2022.

Bolsonaro and his allies, including Trump, have depicted the case as an instance of political persecution.

Citing the trial, Trump last year placed 50-percent tariffs on certain Brazilian goods that he has since removed.

At the time, he announced the tariffs in a letter that denounced Bolsonaro’s prosecution. “The way that Brazil has treated former President Bolsonaro, a Highly Respected Leader throughout the World during his term, including by the United States, is an international disgrace,” Trump wrote.

The Trump administration also revoked the visas of Brazilian judicial officials involved in Bolsonaro’s case in an effort to have it tossed out. It also levied short-lived sanctions against Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, accusing him of “an unlawful witch hunt” against right-wing voices.

Bolsonaro foi, em última análise, condenado e sentenciado a 27 anos de prisão em setembro de 2025.

In June, one of his sons, Eduardo Bolsonaro, was sentenced to more than four years in prison after a court ruled he had lobbied for US interference in his father’s case.
