The federal government will focus on resuming negotiations with the United States before moving forward with discussions around an\u00a0\u201canti-sanctions law,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Valor<\/strong>\u00a0has learned. The proposal aims to protect Brazilian authorities and institutions, such as banks, from international sanctions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Although the measure is supported by prominent figures such as Supreme Court Justice Gilmar Mendes, people close to the government believe it is best to wait before moving forward with the proposal. The Executive branch plans to resume diplomatic talks with the U.S. According to four officials, it is wiser to focus on a diplomatic solution rather than take measures that could be perceived as retaliation. A Supreme Court justice also pointed out that what matters for now is discussing the issue, even if no immediate action is taken.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Tuesday (30), Justice Mendes said that the three branches of government are discussing the possibility of an anti-sanctions law.\u00a0Valor<\/strong>\u00a0has learned that the subject is under review by the Federal Attorney General\u2019s Office (AGU) and has not yet been referred to the Chief of Staff Office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe are exploring a debate on an anti-sanctions law to shield authorities and entities facing secondary sanctions, such as banks and service providers,\u201d Mr. Mendes said Tuesday at an event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He added that the discussion among the legislative, executive, and judiciary was triggered by U.S. measures under the\u00a0Magnitsky Act against Justice Alexandre de Moraes<\/a>, as well as the revocation of U.S. visas for Health Minister Alexandre Padilha.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIn Europe, there have already been several debates and decisions on this, in light of embargoes applied to Cuba and Iran. Recently, we witnessed\u00a0the cancellation of visas for Brazilian officials, including the health minister<\/a>, as well as the application of the Magnitsky Act to one of our colleagues. This phenomenon is also occurring with European authorities,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In September, the Supreme Court\u2019s First Panel\u00a0sentenced former President Jair Bolsonaro to over 27 years in prison<\/a>\u00a0for attempting a coup d\u2019\u00e9tat. During the trial, the U.S. government announced various sanctions against Brazil\u2019s judiciary and President Lula\u2019s administration, including visa revocations. Washington also imposed a 50% tariff increase on Brazilian exports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The announcements, made by White House officials, cited the coup plot trial against the former president. When imposing the tariffs in July,\u00a0U.S. President Donald Trump said there was a \u201cwitch hunt\u201d against Mr. Bolsonaro<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In Mr. Padilha\u2019s case, the U.S. government revoked visas in August for public officials involved in overseeing the More Doctors program. The action was connected to Mr. Trump\u2019s decision to penalize Brazil for the participation of Cuban doctors in the program.<\/p>\n
