Donald Trump has vowed to impose tariffs on Brazil and sanction the judge trying former president Jair Bolsonaro over an alleged coup attempt. The US President has vowed to slap the South American nation with 50 per cent tariffs from Friday unless they call off what he called the "witch hunt" of Bolsonaro.

The US also imposed a 50% tariff on Brazil after Trump accused it of "attacks" on US companies and of conducting a "witch hunt" against Bolsonaro.
