U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the administration would consider further sanctions against Brazilian officials if deemed necessary. Specifically, the Treasury has already sanctioned the wife of the Brazilian judge presiding over the criminal trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro. This action follows investigations related to allegations of improper influence in the judicial process. The Treasury’s statement indicates a cautious approach and potential escalation of pressure if new evidence emerges. The specific nature of the sanctions remains to be determined.
