Lula Urges Trump to Lift 40% Tariff on Brazilian Goods


Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva asked US President Donald Trump to remove the 40% tariff imposed on Brazilian goods, according to a statement released by Brazil's government. The request was made during a 30-minute phone call between the two leaders, which both sides described as friendly. Lula also invited Trump to attend the upcoming climate summit in Belem and offered to travel to the US for a meeting.


The tariffs, which Trump imposed in addition to an existing 10% tariff, have been a point of contention between the two countries. Trump justified the tariffs as a response to what he called a "witch hunt" against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally. Lula argued that the tariffs have no logical basis, especially since Brazil maintains a trade surplus with the US. The two leaders exchanged phone numbers and plan to meet in person soon.

The State Department has labeled the Lebanese branch a foreign terrorist organization, while the Jordanian and Egyptian branches have been listed as specially designated global terrorists for supporting Hamas.
