President Donald Trump took to Truth Social Thursday evening calling for an immediate end to what he called "unjust" political attacks against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

A prosecutor has asked Brazil's Supreme Court to find ex-president Jair Bolsonaro guilty of plotting a violent coup after a trial that saw President Trump try to intervene.

If implemented, the sanctions against supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes would dramatically escalate a widening feud between the United States and Brazil.
