U.S. President Donald Trump says his high tariffs for Brazil are partially due to its legal case against former President Jair Bolsonaro. The threat reflects ties between Bolsonaro’s family and the U.

Tarcísio de Freitas, governor of São Paulo state and a former infrastructure minister under Bolsonaro, told reporters Thursday that the U.S. tariffs would have a negative impact on the economy and for important industrial exporters from his state, including Brazilian plane maker Embraer.
