US removes Brazil Supreme Court judge from sanctions list

SUMMARY

The US Treasury has lifted sanctions on Brazil Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes. Moraes was sanctioned in July due to his involvement in the prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro. The removal from the sanctions list occurred recently, as noted in a Treasury update.

This decision follows Donald Trump's earlier easing of tariffs on Brazilian exports, which were implemented to support Bolsonaro amid his legal troubles after losing the 2022 election.
