BRASILIA/SAO PAULO, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Brazil's foreign relations ministry said on Wednesday it was surprised by the U.S. State Department's criticism of the Brazilian Supreme Court, adding it rejects any attempt to politicize judicial rulings.
Earlier in the day, the U.S. State Department Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs posted on X that "respect for sovereignty is a two-way street with all U.S. partners, including Brazil". The post also noted that blocking access to information was incompatible with democratic values.
The U.S. State Department did not mention any specific decision, but its statement comes after Brazil's Supreme Court ordered the suspension of U.S. video-sharing Rumble RUM.O in the Latin American nation last week due to lack of compliance with court orders.
