Bolsonaro Receives 27-Year Sentence, Trump Reacts Strongly

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison for plotting a military coup. The sentence triggered a strong reaction from US President Donald Trump, who criticized the verdict.

Bolsonaro's lawyer plans to appeal the decision, which also includes a ban on running for public office until 2033. Despite being convicted, Bolsonaro can attend his trial's final phase but is under house arrest as a flight risk.

Trump labeled the prosecution a witch hunt and imposed a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods in retaliation. The verdict has political implications in Brazil and international repercussions due to Trump's involvement.
