Description
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva says that the imprisonment of his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, an ally of US President Donald Trump, "has nothing to do" with the relationship between the two countries. Bolsonaro -- under house arrest while he appeals a conviction for a foiled coup attempt -- was sentenced to 27 years in prison over a scheme to stop leftist Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from taking office after the 2022 elections.
