July 10, 2025 - Washington DC & Brasilia, Brazil: This week, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on all Brazilian imports, effective August 1st. He cited Brazil’s prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro, labeling it a "witch hunt" and an "insidious attack" on free speech and election integrity. Brazilian President Lula immediately summoned the U.S. chargé d’affaires, denouncing Trump’s demand to drop the trial and reaffirming Brazil’s independent institutions. Lula called Trump’s letter "offensive" and warned of reciprocal counter-tariffs. This action follows Eduardo Bolsonaro's temporary resignation from Congress in March 2025 and his move to the U.S. to lobby for political asylum and pressure Brazil’s judiciary - specifically Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. His goal, he told APB News earlier this year, is to rally U.S. officials to sanction de Moraes and promote clemency for those involved in the January 8th riots in Brasília. Brazil is the U.S.’s second-largest trading partner, exporting around $40 to $50 billion annually, including coffee, orange juice, steel, and iron. The announcement caused Brazil’s real to fall over 2% and sparked broader market uncertainty.

Thursday June 19th, A peaceful protest took place outside the Iranian Mission to the United Nations, where demonstrators gathered in a pro-Israel, anti-Islamic regime demonstration aimed at raising awareness about the brutality and oppression carried out by Iran’s ruling government. Former New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind delivered remarks condemning the regime’s actions and voicing support for the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom. Protesters chanted “No nukes for Iran,” emphasizing concerns over Iran’s nuclear ambitions. One demonstrator stood out, proudly waving an Israeli flag while wearing a #FreeIran outfit—a symbolic fusion of solidarity between those oppressed by the regime and those who stand for democracy. The protest was marked by the visual unity of Israeli and American flags, underscoring the shared democratic values and commitment to human rights that bind the two nations.

March 2025 - Washington DC: Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, said he is taking a leave from his role as a congressman to live in the United States and to help to build international support for his father and their political group. Bolsonaro said he will work on developing international support to fight what he claims is called persecution against the Bolsonaro family, his father, their allies and supporters. Eduardo has been instrumental in the role of the family's foreign emissary, appearing in the U.S. at conservative political conferences which is where APB News caught up with him at CPAC just outside of Washington DC. Also, Congressman Bolsonaro said he would seek political asylum. His father is barred from running for office until 2030 and had his passport taken in February 2024 on the order of Brazil's top court.

SUBSCRIBE February 2025, National Harbor, MD: It's quite evident that the growing young Republican movement played an important role for President Trump's election victory. At the recent CPAC Conference outside of Washington DC, APB News sat down with Preston Parra, a 22-year-old conservative influencer and budding political operative. To get a better understanding on how the younger GOP has become a major force. We first met Preston last December at the New York Young Republican Gala in New York City. Young Republicans largely have vastly different issue priorities than young Democrats. According to CIRCLE’s pre-2024 election survey, Republican youth from the ages 18 through 34 are most concerned about the cost of living, inflation, securing the southern border, restricting abortion access, cancel culture, and keeping ideology out of public schools. @CPACplus @NewYorkYoungRepublicanClub #gop #youngrepublicans

February 2025 - National Harbor, MD: Big news to come from the recent CPAC 2025 conference outside of Washington DC saw Nigel Farage giving up formal control of his Reform UK party as he seeks to democratize its structure in an effort to win Britain's next general election. The strategic move advances Farage’s efforts to shape Reform as a credible and professional organization for power which creates a distinction between Farage’s past as the leader of the Brexit party and the UK Independence party, which were plagued by infighting and scandals. APB News caught up with the popular UK politician where he defended Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky against Donald Trump's recent criticism, stating that the Ukrainian leader "is not a dictator." @ReformUKOfficial @NigelFarageOfficial​

SUBSCRIBE! February 2025 - National Harbor, MD: During last week’s CPAC 2025 conference, APB News caught up with Oath Keepers’ founder Stewart Rhodes to understand what he is re-building now, and what his intentions are for the future. Rhodes was convicted of seditious conspiracy but freed from prison last month after President Trump commuted his 18-year sentence. It was a chaotic week for Enrique Tarrio, the Former National Chairman of the Proud Boys who attended a demonstration in front of the U.S. Capitol to protest the remaining prisoners who have not yet received presidential pardons for crimes stemming from the January 6, 2021, riot in the nation’s capital. Tarrio was arrested on a charge that he assaulted a woman during the protests. APB News spoke with Tarrio that night where he confirmed he was booked on a misdemeanor charge and released within a few hours. Tarrio who received a presidential pardon for crimes stemming from the attacks was serving a 22 year sentence, the longest among hundreds of Capitol riot cases, when President Donald Trump granted clemency last month to most of the 1,500-plus people charged in the Jan. 6 attack. Tarrio explained to APB News what the Proud Boys new mission is and why he feels his group‘s intentions are misunderstood. @CPACplus @DonaldJTrumpforPresident
