Brazilians were divided Tuesday over a house arrest order against former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial for allegedly masterminding a coup plot to remain in office. Brazil’s Supreme Court on Monday issued the order in a case that has gripped the South American country even as it faces a trade war with the Trump administration.

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

The Brazilian Supreme Court justice’s order could complicate efforts to negotiate over President Trump’s punishing tariffs, set to go into effect this week.
