A scheduled meeting between Brazil's Finance Minister Fernando Haddad and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was canceled, with no new date set. Haddad attributed the cancellation to pressure from far-right groups in the United States. Subsequently, on the same day the meeting with Haddad was planned, Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, met with Bessent. Eduardo Bolsonaro reportedly lobbied U.S. officials to persuade then-President Donald Trump to impose a 50 percent tariff on Brazilian imports, a move that has drawn widespread condemnation. The U.S. is also reportedly considering sanctions against advisors to Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes following actions linked to Eduardo Bolsonaro. These developments occur amid ongoing political tensions between Brazil and the United States.
