Trump Publicly SHAMED in Brazil: Protesters Stage ‘Arrest’ Amid Explosive U.S. Tariff Threats

As US President Donald Trump threatens to impose 50 percent tariffs on Latin America's largest economy, protesters in Brazil's economic capital of Sao Paulo rally in defense of jobs, local businesses, and national sovereignty. The July 9 announcement, in which Trump vows steep tariffs as retaliation for what he calls a "witch hunt" against his far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro, has drawn criticism in Brazil. Demonstrators stage a symbolic "arrest" of both leaders by dressing up as Trump and Bolsonaro, complete with police uniforms. #TrumpArrested #BolsonaroProtest #BrazilVsUSA #TariffWar #SaoPauloProtest #TrumpTariffs #EconomicBlackmail #MockArrest #GlobalBacklash #USBrazilTensions #StopTheTariffs #PoliticalTheater #StreetJustice #LatinAmericaResists ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~

The Ministry of Defence only became aware of the breach when excerpts from the dataset were posted anonymously on a Facebook group in August 2023, and a super-injunction was granted at the High Court in an attempt to prevent the Taliban from finding out about the leak.
