Reference News Network August 11 report - According to Agence France-Presse, August 10, the Brazilian government stated on August 10 that a new post by a high-ranking U.S. official against Judge Alexandre de Moraes of the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court was a positive attack on Brazil's sovereignty.
The report stated that the Brazilian Foreign Ministry responded to a post by U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau, saying: "This statement is another direct attack on Brazil's sovereignty and democracy. Brazil's democracy recently thwarted a coup plot and will never yield to any pressure, regardless of where it comes from."
The report also mentioned that as a deputy to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Landau claimed that bilateral relations had fallen into a "stalemate."
The report mentioned that although the judge was not named, Landau referred to a judge whom he considered "to have seized dictatorial power," and said that the current relationship between Brazil and the United States is unprecedented and abnormal.
Landau wrote: "The usurper clings to 'the rule of law,' while other branches of government claim they are unable to respond."
According to the report, the original post was in English, forwarded and translated into Portuguese by the U.S. Embassy in Brazil, and shared on the social media platform X. (Translated by Su Jiawei)
