The U.S. Department of State has designated Comando Vermelho and Primeiro Comando da Capital as terrorist groups.
The Trump Administration will continue to use all available tools to dismantle and disrupt these violent narco-terrorists.
O Primeiro Comando da Capital e o Comando Vermelho são duas das organizações criminosas mais violentas do Brasil. Seu alcance se estende por toda a nossa região e até o nosso país.
Hoje, designei essas organizações como Organizações Terroristas Estrangeiras e Terroristas Globais Especialmente Designados.
O governo Trump continuará usando todas as ferramentas disponíveis para proteger nossos interesses de segurança nacional e negar o acesso de narcoterroristas a financiamento e recursos.
Quero lembrar a extrema-direita que a lei americana não tem validade aqui no Brasil. PCC e Comando Vermelho só são organizações terroristas lá, aqui continuarão sendo classificadas como ONGs.
Viva nossa SOBERANIA!
Primeiro Comando da Capital and Comando Vermelho are two of the most violent criminal organizations in Brazil. Their reach extends throughout our region and into our country.
Today, I designated these organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
The Trump Administration will continue using every available tool to protect our national security interests and deny funding and resources to narco-terrorists.

.@POTUS made clear that his administration will hold accountable foreign nationals who are responsible for censorship of protected expression in the United States. Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes's political witch hunt against Jair Bolsonaro created a persecution and censorship complex so sweeping that it not only violates basic rights of Brazilians, but also extends beyond Brazil's shores to target Americans.
I have therefore ordered visa revocations for Moraes and his allies on the court, as well as their immediate family members effective immediately.
.@UnderSecPD: O presidente Trump enviou uma carta impondo consequências há muito esperadas à Suprema Corte de Moraes e ao governo Lula por seus ataques a Jair Bolsonaro, à liberdade de expressão e ao comércio americano. Tais ataques são uma vergonha e estão muito aquém da dignidade das tradições democráticas do Brasil. As declarações do presidente Trump são claras. Estaremos acompanhando de perto.

Brazil is doing a terrible thing on their treatment of former President Jair Bolsonaro. I have watched, as has the World, as they have done nothing but come after him, day after day, night after night, month after month, year after year! He is not guilty of anything, except having fought for THE PEOPLE. I have gotten to know Jair Bolsonaro, and he was a strong Leader, who truly loved his Country — Also, a very tough negotiator on TRADE. His Election was very close and now, he is leading in the Polls. This is nothing more, or less, than an attack on a Political Opponent — Something I know much about! It happened to me, times 10, and now our Country is the “HOTTEST” in the World! The Great People of Brazil will not stand for what they are doing to their former President. I’ll be watching the WITCH HUNT of Jair Bolsonaro, his family, and thousands of his supporters, very closely. The only Trial that should be happening is a Trial by the Voters of Brazil — It’s called an Election. LEAVE BOLSONARO ALONE!
