Jair Bolsonaro placed under house arrest by Brazil's Supreme Court after addressing supporters at Rio protest, violating release conditions in election case.

Brazil's Supreme Court put former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest on Monday ahead of his trial for an alleged coup plot, underscoring the court's resolve despite escalating tariffs and sanctions from U.

The trial is receiving renewed attention after U.S. President Donald Trump directly tied a 50% tariff on imported Brazilian goods to the judicial situation of Bolsonaro, calling it a “witch hunt.”
