Eduardo Bolsonaro criticizes Tarcísio and Ratinho Jr. for defending negotiations on Trump's tariff hike

Federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) criticized the governors of São Paulo and Paraná, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans) and Ratinho Jr (PSD), for defending the resumption of negotiations against the tariff hike imposed by Donald Trump on Brazil, disregarding the granting of amnesty to Jair Bolsonaro as part of the agreement.

Without directly mentioning Tarcísio, Eduardo used social media to 'warn' his supporters about those who "show concern about the Moraes tariff and don't talk about political prisoners or the institutional crisis." During the Expert SP event, held yesterday afternoon in São Paulo, Tarcísio stated that he is talking to American companies and politicians so they can "raise awareness" with Donald Trump about the tariffs imposed on the country, without mentioning an amnesty agreement.

The governor of Paraná, who was also at the event, was more blunt, stating that "Bolsonaro is not more important than the trade relationship between the United States and Brazil." In response, Eduardo published a video this Sunday featuring a cut of Ratinho Jr.'s speech and screenshots of letters sent by Trump mentioning Bolsonaro, with the caption "I apologize, governor, but ignoring these facts will not solve the problem; it will only prolong it at the cost of the suffering of many Brazilians."

This isn't Eduardo's first criticism of Governor Tarcísio de Freitas . Earlier this month, the congressman had already called Freitas's stance "disrespectful" and that he should seek an "end to the exceptional regime" instead of negotiating better rates for São Paulo's business owners.

In the United States since March, Eduardo has been the target of an investigation by the Supreme Federal Court (STF) for possible crimes of coercion during the trial, obstruction of the investigation of a criminal offense involving a criminal organization, and violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law.
