Police in Brazil swooped on the home and political headquarters of Jair Bolsonaro early Friday, searching the properties, ordering the former president to wear an electronic ankle tag, barring him from speaking to foreign officials or approaching embassies and prohibiting him from using social media.

Brazilian President Lula da Silva launched a fiery attack on U.S. President Donald Trump, slamming his threat to impose 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods as “unacceptable blackmail.” The diplomatic clash erupted after Trump linked the tariffs to Brazil dropping legal charges against former president Jair Bolsonaro over his alleged coup attempt.

Federal police raided the home of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro in Brasilia on Friday (July 18) and ordered him to wear an ankle monitor, adding to legal pressure that U.S. President Donald Trump had tried to end by threatening a steep tariff on Brazilian goods.

Trump announced a 50 percent tariff on all Brazilian goods, escalating a feud over Brazil’s prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Brazil vowed to retaliate.

President Donald Trump sent out a slew of letters Wednesday to some global trading partners, advising them of tariff levels as high as 50% for their exports to the United States.

Trump cast his announcement as a pressure tactic to help Bolsonaro, who is on trial for allegedly plotting a coup to overturn his loss in the 2022 presidential election.
