The governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans-SP), called ministers of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) with a proposal considered surprising – and eSdrúxula: he suggested that the Court authorize Jair Bolsonaro (PL) Traveling to USA to meet with Donald Trump.
The argument of the governor of São Paulo was that the former president would have the ability to negotiate with the American a pacification with Brazil, pulling him the reduction of 50% surcharge applied to the country.
It would be at the same time a sign of goodwill from the Supreme Court with him.
Magistrates considered the idea totally out of purpose. Bolsonaro had his passport seized and is prevented from traveling outside the country. Ministers see the risk even that he escapes, obtaining Trump’s political asylum to escape prison in Brazil.
In addition, the court understands that there must be respect for institutions that have the mission to negotiate with other countries: the Presidency of the Republic and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Bolsonaro is a former president and has no term for any negotiation.
The governor’s advisory did not respond to the column’s request to hear Tarcisio on the matter. The governor is under intense pressure from São Paulo economic sectors that will be harmed by Trump’s tariff.
According to Bolsonaro interlocutors, the idea was to sew an agreement for Bolsonaro to travel to the US with the president of Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), and with the president of the Senate, Gave it alarthrumb (Union-AP) to discuss the approval by Congress a amnesty to the former president.
Both did not participate in the negotiations, and would be consulted later.
In letter directed to Lulathe US President said he would be imposing surcharge, among other reasons, because Bolsonaro was suffering a witch hunt in Brazil.
He also said that his trial for the STF for a coup attempt is an “international shame.”
The letter took the Lula government by surprise, and was returned.
The president said in interviews that he will try to dialogue with Trump, but that if until August the issue is not resolved and the surcharge will be valid, Brazil will also respond by also overlapping US products.
