News snippet: BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Sunday pushed back against a 50 per cent tariff on Brazilian imported goods to the United States, arguing that it was “political” and “illogical.”Lula said in a New York Times op-ed that his government is open to negotiating anything that can bring mutual benefits. “But Brazil’s democracy and sovereignty are not on the table,” he said.
U.S. President Donald Trump imposed the tariff on Brazil in July, citing what he called a “witch hunt” against former President Jair Bolsonaro, who at the time stood accused of trying to illegally hang onto power.The trial came to an end on Thursday after a panel of Supreme Court justices ruled that Bolsonaro had attempted a coup after his 2022 electoral defeat to Lula, sparking fears of further U.S. measures against Brazil.Lula said he was proud of the Supreme Court for its “historic decision” which safeguards Brazil’s institutions, the democratic rule of law and is not a “witch hunt.”
Cool
Well done. Unlike America where democracy is flushed one day at a time.
„And tell Eduardo to come home“
Such a hypocrisy of Lula.
The Brazilian judiciary delivers a lesson in justice while Rubio makes empty threats in defence of his corrupt master. Trump should be sharing a cell with Bolsonaro.
The only country that isn’t functioning like America is America.
Lula actually has his elbows up.
Awesome!!!!
Good job, Lula.
There is no reason for Lula to take Trump’s BS meddling in internal matter of Brazil and his tariff threat.
US is important but there will be other countries Brazil could establish trade with.
Can’t help but feel if Trump continues to bully Brazil that China would back Brazil up….putting Trump in a big fucking bind
We do **not** need to be picking a fight with Brazil. We run a trade **surplus** with them. They make no geopolitical problems and instead try to get along with everyone.
Agree or disagree with the Bolsonaro decision it’s literally peanuts compared to what 57 other nations are doing.
