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

Brazil's Supreme Court on Monday ordered the house arrest of former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial for allegedly masterminding a coup plot to remain in office despite his defeat in the 2022 election — a case that has gripped the South American country as it faces a trade war with the Trump administration.

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.
