Sanctions against the US should not be ruled out. Freezing of assets of US companies, prohibiting US banks from operating in Brazil, including on the stock exchange, denouncing military, judicial and information exchange cooperation agreements, reducing the diplomatic corps and closing US consulates, declaring all US public officials linked to the Department of Justice as persona non-grata. Selling all Brazilian reserves in bonds and other assets that are in US and British territory. Expulsion of all NGOs linked to the US.

This is just the beginning. We don't need the US for anything. Let's hope they don't need our coffee!

I fail to see how such an act has has anything to do with with sanctioning Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Alexandre de Moraes under the Global Magnitsky Act for alleged human rights violations.
I fail to see how such an act has has anything to do with with the proper functioning of the Brazilian Supreme Court.
