00:05Alexandre de Moraes, describing him as harmful to U.S. companies and those seeking access to
00:11their markets. The attack followed Judge Flavio Dino's ruling that foreign laws cannot be enforced
00:17in Brazil without review by the relevant Brazilian authority, as this would violate national
00:23sovereignty. Donald Trump's government office reiterated that U.S. citizens are prohibited
00:29from conducting transactions with Moraes. In addition, Moraes stated in an interview with
00:35the U.S. newspaper, The Washington Post, that there is no possibility of backing down even
