Brazilian government calls for probe into US funding of far-right causes

Brazil’s attorney general, Jorge Messias, has called for an investigation into alleged US efforts to interfere in Brazil’s domestic politics by funding far-right causes. This follows a Guardian report suggesting that the Trump administration planned to allocate $1 million to right-wing civil groups opposing the Brazilian Supreme Court. Messias emphasized that foreign meddling cannot be tolerated and highlighted concerns over external pressure amid Brazil’s tense presidential election, where Lula seeks re-election and has warned of threats to regional sovereignty.
