How does the U.S. tariff on Brazilian exports relate to the legal proceedings against Jair Bolsonaro?

The timing of Bolsonaro's house arrest exacerbates existing tensions between Brazil and the U.S. The 50% tariff, imposed by the U.S. administration, is perceived by Brazil as politically motivated, directly linked to the ongoing legal proceedings against Bolsonaro. This perception complicates efforts to negotiate a reduction of the tariff, potentially affecting Brazil's economic outlook.
