US considers new sanctions on Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes

The United States is thinking about punishing a judge from Brazil named Alexandre de Moraes.

Punishments like this are called sanctions, and they can make it hard for someone to travel or use money.

The judge already got sanctions last year in July.

The reason is that he was in charge of a big trial in Brazil.

That trial was about the former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.

Bolsonaro was found guilty of trying to take power after he lost an election.

He was sent to prison for that.

Now the U.S. is talking about giving the judge even more sanctions.

A newspaper called the Financial Times reported this news.

The newspaper talked to people who know about the plan.
