Supreme Court justice who will oversee his father's impending trial .

Encouraged by Jair Bolsonaro's son, Trump considers sanctions on Brazilian judge A son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is collaborating with the White House to determine sanctions against a Brazilian Supreme Court justice who will oversee his father's impending trial for allegedly attempting a coup.

Should these sanctions against Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes be enacted, it would significantly heighten the diplomatic conflict between the two most populous nations in the Western Hemisphere. This tension escalated last week following Trump's announcement of a 50 percent tariff on Brazilian goods, which he attributed to the country's "witch hunt" against Bolsonaro.
