(Reuters) - The former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, is strategizing a political comeback, anticipating support from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, which may include using economic sanctions against current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the Wall Street Journal reported late Thursday.
"Trump is back, and it's a sign we'll be back too," Bolsonaro, who has been barred from running for office until 2030 and facing criminal charges for allegedly plotting a coup, said in an interview with the Journal.
