Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is under house arrest on charges of masterminding a coup to overturn the country's presidential election in 2022. The turning point comes at a tense moment, with Brazil tied up in a trade war with the US under President Donald Trump, an ally of Bolsonaro. Trump has indicated that his administration's plans to hit Brazil with hefty tariffs is connected to Bolsonaro's legal troubles. Rafael Ioris is a professor of Latin American History and Politics at the University of Denver. He joins The World's Host Carolyn Beeler to discuss this recent development and its significance.
