As US President Donald Trump threatens to impose 50 percent tariffs on Latin America's largest economy, protesters in Brazil's economic capital of Sao Paulo rally in defense of jobs, local businesses, and national sovereignty.

The July 9 announcement, in which Trump vows steep tariffs as retaliation for what he calls a "witch hunt" against his far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro, has drawn criticism in Brazil.

Demonstrators stage a symbolic "arrest" of both leaders by dressing up as Trump and Bolsonaro, complete with police uniforms.
