Government sees Trump convinced of a scholarship and fears new sanctions

Brazilian diplomats that accompany the relations between Brazil and the USA said to the column that, in Washington, the perception is that the issue of Bolsonaro and Brazil has taken on personal offense for Trump, and that the diplomatic crisis can still scale to many aspects other than economic consequences.

In this scenario, diplomatic channels would become innocuous, as the final decision would fit the Republican, with little or no influence on the US state bureaucracy in the definition.

Brazilian diplomacy cites as expected to adopt the law Magnitsky Against Moraes, or 100% cross sanctions because of the business relationship with Russia – two bets that pockets have also made.

But there may be more: it would be on the menu, for example, sanctions in the field of military cooperation.

The perception of these Brazilian diplomats is that if at some point there has been resistance in the Trump administration regarding the speech of licensed federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro and political commentator Paulo Figueiredo, at this point both managed to convince the White House machine that the Bolsonaros are victims of political persecution and that the Brazilian judiciary was instrumentalized.

The interpretation coincides with the vision of the pockets themselves, who admit to having faced some hesitation of the US Treasury regarding financial sanctions against Moraes in May, which would have already been overcome, they said. The mood on their last visit to the White House 3 days ago would have been “open doors”.
