    Brazil’s Supreme Court has denied a request for Trump adviser Darren Beattie to visit imprisoned former President Jair Bolsonaro, citing concerns that the visit could interfere with Brazil’s internal affairs. Bolsonaro is currently serving a 27-year sentence for his role in a coup attempt against his successor.

    Moves like this show how tense diplomatic relations have become on multiple fronts.

  3. The Trump administration has recently threatened Brazil by placing military bases near our borders and attempting to interfere in our elections. 

    Trump’s objective is to elect Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of the former president who attempted a coup, in exchange for which he would have access to our natural resources; furthermore, they want to distance Brazil from China, as the relationship between the two countries has been very beneficial.

    For the US, Latin American countries cannot develop and must remain their backyard.

    Remember when American diplomats actually cared about the views of the governments to whom they were accredited?

    Brazil knows that USA is the only country without coup de etat because theres no american embassy there.

  6. Smart. Traditionally when US government officials try to meet with ousted leaders of foreign countries it’s to scheme to put them back in power.

    Brazil stared down the cannon of fascism and thankfully moved aside. They look like geniuses compared to us

    The US is willing to invade any country if they think they can do it and prop up someone loyal to Trump. 

  9. The far right keeps shooting itself in the foot as always and Brazilian people caught up. We have a president now that’s at least trying to do his job and it shows.

    The Bolsonaro family are struggling to tie their shoelaces while Lula is running laps around them, it’s kinda funny how to see how dumb the fascists are and they still think they have a chance.

    So refreshing to see a Nation treat these “diplomats” the way it ought to be handled. Not a single european country had the balls to persona non grata any of the Trump fecal matter installed in US embassies.

    Ah, Lula. Always revoking the visas of people who don’t please you. You didn’t change, you wannabe dictator.
