SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro has been ordered to wear an ankle monitor, authorities said on Friday, in a move he described as “a supreme humiliation.” The development came as federal police conducted searches at his home and his party’s headquarters in Brasília, in compliance with a Supreme Court order.

Federal police raided the home of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro in Brasilia on Friday (July 18) and ordered him to wear an ankle monitor, adding to legal pressure that U.S. President Donald Trump had tried to end by threatening a steep tariff on Brazilian goods.

Brazilian President Lula da Silva launched a fiery attack on U.S. President Donald Trump, slamming his threat to impose 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods as “unacceptable blackmail.” The diplomatic clash erupted after Trump linked the tariffs to Brazil dropping legal charges against former president Jair Bolsonaro over his alleged coup attempt.

Trump announced a 50 percent tariff on all Brazilian goods, escalating a feud over Brazil’s prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Brazil vowed to retaliate.

Trump cast his announcement as a pressure tactic to help Bolsonaro, who is on trial for allegedly plotting a coup to overturn his loss in the 2022 presidential election.

The former president's home and party headquarters in Brasilia were also searched as a coup trial against him nears an end.

Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered Jair Bolsonaro, the former president, to stay home most hours, defying President Trump’s demands that charges against him be dropped.

U.S. President Donald Trump pitched his 50% tariffs against Brazil as a way to support former President Jair Bolsonaro, but three people close to the right-wing ex-president said they were stunned by the move and fear it may do more harm than good.
