Senate rebels against Trump: 5 Republicans join move to end Brazil tariffs over Bolsonaro row

In a dramatic turn, the Republican-led US Senate voted 52–48 to overturn Donald Trump’s tariffs against Brazil- an order issued after Brazil prosecuted former president Jair Bolsonaro for an alleged coup attempt. Bolsonaro, convicted of attempting to abolish democracy, is serving a 27-year sentence. Trump swiftly imposed 50% tariffs and sanctioned a Brazilian Supreme Court justice, accusing Brazil of threatening US security. Five Republicans broke ranks, signaling growing dissent over Trump’s trade policies.
