US embassy calls Moraes “pulsating heart of persecution” against Bolsonaro
The crisis between Brazil and the United States gained new contours on Thursday (24), after the US embassy in Brasilia published, on its official profile at X (former Twitter), a message accusing Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Court (STF) of being the “pulsating heart of the persecution and censorship complex” against former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
The text is a translation of the statement made by Darren Beattie, secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs of the government of Donald Trump. In the message, Beattie states that “thanks to the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Rubio (Marco Rubio, current head of American diplomacy), we are aware and taking appropriate action” regarding the case.

The publication expands the institutional escalation promoted by Trump management since the announcement, on July 9, the 50% tariff on Brazilian products. That same day, the US embassy had already issued a note in support of the measure, stating that Bolsonaro and his family were “strong partners” of Americans and that “political persecution” against them is “shameful and disrespects the democratic traditions of Brazil.”

Voltage with the STF
Last week, the State Department announced the immediate revocation of Alexandre de Moraes and other STF ministers, as well as the Attorney General, Paulo Gonet. The decision was received by the Brazilian government as an unprecedented and hostile gesture, reinforcing the reading that Trump management has transformed political retaliation into a diplomatic tool.
In another recent publication, the American Embassy even referred to the highest court in the country as the “Supreme Court of Moraes” – in an attempt to customize the institution’s decisions in the figure of the rapporteur of the inquiries related to the attempt of coup of 8 January.
