Eduardo Bolsonaro, a federal deputy from the Liberal Party of São Paulo, has publicly criticized Tarcísio de Freitas, the governor of São Paulo from the Republicanos party, for his approach to the tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The dispute centers on Tarcísio's meetings with U.S. government representatives and local businessmen to negotiate the impact of the tariffs, which Eduardo Bolsonaro described as demonstrating "subservience to the elites." Eduardo argued that Tarcísio's direct negotiations undermine efforts to pressure the U.S. government for tariff relief. Despite being political allies, the two have exchanged sharp criticisms over the best strategy to respond to the U.S. tariff policy. Tarcísio defended his actions by stating he is focused on the interests of São Paulo. The conflict escalated until former President Jair Bolsonaro intervened to mediate the dispute, aligning himself with Tarcísio and declaring the situation resolved. Following the intervention, Eduardo Bolsonaro confirmed that peace had been restored between him and the governor.
