Mirando Trump, Moraes prioritizes international press interviews

On the 18th, the minister spoke to the American newspaper The Washington Post, which described him as “the judge who refuses to give in to Trump’s desire.”

Today, in an interview with Reuters, he said he expected a change in attitude by US President Donald Trump to reverse the sanctions imposed against him, stating that there would be a lack of consensus within the US government agencies.

According to the column, the minister should give more interviews to foreign vehicles in the coming days. They are on the BBC list and The New York Times.

Brazilian banks can be punished, says the minister

To Reuters, the minister also said that Brazilian courts may punish national financial institutions that block or confiscate domestic assets in response to US orders.

Moraes’s statements point to the possible consequences of Monday’s decision of STF Minister Flávio Dino, who warned that foreign laws cannot be automatically applied in Brazil.
