October presidential election

The US imposed 25% tariffs on some Brazilian imports over alleged 'unfair' practices, a decision that could upend the country’s economy and politics. The tariffs are in response to the prosecution of former Brazilian president and his close ally, Jair Bolsonaro, and may weaken Bolsonaro’s son’s standing in the October presidential election, as seen in a previous instance when such tariffs boosted support for leftist incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
