A large protest occurring at Sao Paulo's MASP museum included many Brazilians expressing anger towards Donald Trump. The protest featured a burning effigy of Trump and was motivated by his recent threat to impose a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports. Trump's actions were intended to support former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, who is awaiting serious legal consequences following the 2022 election. Protesters conveyed their message of defiance through banners and social media posts, underscoring their discontent with Trump's intervention in Brazilian affairs.
Silvana Marques, a 51-year-old Brazilian teacher, participated in a protest against Donald Trump outside Sao Paulo's MASP museum, which featured a cardboard effigy of him that was burned.
The protest was a reaction to Trump's decision to threaten a trade war against Brazil in support of Jair Bolsonaro, who faces serious criminal charges.
On July 9, Trump demanded that Brazilian President Lula da Silva drop charges against Bolsonaro and threatened a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports until that occurs.
Flavio Bolsonaro urged Lula's government to comply with Trump's ultimatum, comparing Brazil's situation to Japan after World War II, where the U.S. exerted immense pressure.
