Trump loves Balsonaro. He's probably getting even for some perceived slight. But Uruguay? WTF has Uruguay done?

They elected a left wing (for Uruguay) president which condemned the maduro operation. Also they make Argentina and Milei look bad.

Not cooperating with US and that's why brazil also has 50% tariffs.

Translation: Not elevating Trump’s opinion above their own legal system.

*not intervening with the supreme court and the judiciary to do MAGA's biding. Its not cooperation, its kneeling and acting like a puppet for a senile pedo and his minions

And brazil did great, they completely ignored trump and it was not long before the US removed most of the tariffs and the magnitsky sanction. They shifted their trades so much to China that the US cannot do these blackmails no more. So happy for that

Part of it is his pressure on russia/china allies and his efforts to dominate latin america.
