US Secretary of State Marco Rubio slammed the Brazilian Supreme Court’s ruling against far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro on Thursday, saying Washington “will respond accordingly” to his coup-plotting conviction.
“Brazil’s supreme court have unjustly ruled to imprison former President Jair Bolsonaro,” Rubio posted on X, adding that the United States — which has already imposed tariffs on South America’s largest economy over the trial — “will respond accordingly to this witch hunt.”
