Domestic Brazilian political fracture exploited by U.S. tariff leverage; opposition attempts to distance itself from tariff consequences while maintaining Trump administration access; Lula government isolated on trade front; U.S. using tariffs as pressure tool on judicial independence and tech regulation issues beyond traditional trade concerns.
