The Supreme Court, which is still in the process of ruling on the Bolsonaro case - as he's accused of an alleged coup attempt against his leftist rival President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva - has now said he has defied a court order banning Bolsonaro from social media.They say he's attacking the nation's institutions while still on trial, and after he's already wearing a ankle monitoring brace.

Brazil has faced US sanctions (targeting among others Bolsonaro's main rival and man driving what Trump has called a "witch hunt" - Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes) as well as the highest tariff rates in the world.
