Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is banned from running for office until 2030, has expressed intentions to return to power. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Bolsonaro stated, "Trump is back and it's a sign we'll be back, too," indicating he hopes to receive support from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, possibly through economic sanctions against Brazil to pressure the current administration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
