The protests, organized by unions and student groups, condemned the 50 percent tariff on Brazilian imports, which was set to begin on Aug. 6. Participants expressed their opposition to US intervention in Brazilian sovereignty and economic affairs. On July 30, the US imposed sanctions on Brazil's Justice Alexandre de Moraes for overseeing the trial of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, accusing the judge of authorizing arbitrary pre-trial detentions and suppressing freedom of expression.<br /><br />REUTERS<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /><br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /><br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein <br />Soundcloud: https://tmt.ph/soundcloud <br /><br />#themanilatimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#worldnews
