‘Somebody is going to order Gingo’: Lula of Brazil to exceed the 50% tariff to the US President; Claim Trump is ‘not the emperor of the world’

Brazilian President Luiz Enecio Lula Da Silva on Thursday said US President Donald Trump’s move to put 50% tariff on Brazil’s import, saying that Brazil will not bow down to warning of foreign pressure and mutual action.According to the Reuters of the news agency, Lula expressed his rejection saying, “No Gingo is going to order this President.” He commented during an incident with leftist student activists in the state of Goas, wearing a red shirt and defending Brazil’s sovereignty.His comments followed Trump’s letter posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, in which the American leader convicted the tariff on the treatment of former Brazilian right -wing former President Jair Bolsono and accused of improper trade practices against American companies. Tariffs are going to be effective from August 1.CNN reported that in an interview, talking to anchor Christian Amanpor in an interview, Lula gave a break to Trump’s comments from the diplomatic protocol and argued that the judicial process associated with Bolsoro had nothing to do with the trade policy. “The judiciary branch of power in Brazil is independent. The President of the Republic has no influence,” he said.Lula also stated that Trump was chosen as the United States leader and “not to be the world’s emperor,” CNN’s report.Lula is allegedly on Bolsoro test in Brazil to try to make a coup after Lula’s 2022 election victory. He can face a prison of over 40 years if convicted. Lula also compared Trump’s status of his legal troubles, saying, “If Trump was Brazilian and if he did in Capital Hill, he would be on testing in Brazil as well. And possibly he would have violated the Constitution. According to justice, he will also be arrested if he has done so in Brazil.”Initially, Lula said that he believes that Trump’s position was fake. “It was very unpleasant,” he told CNN. “I thought it was fake news.”The Government of Brazil vows to respond with mutual tariffs if followed through Trump. Lula said, “Brazil has to take care of Brazil and take care of the people of Brazil, not to take care of the interests of others.” “Brazil will not accept anything imposed on it. We accept the conversation and not impose.”The situation is one of the first strong pushbacks for the tariff hazards of the recent wave of Trump. More than 20 other countries have received similar letters this month, but Brazil stands out due to its important trade relations with the US. Lula, who is in his third non-conversion as President, also reiterated his government’s intentions to regulate and pay taxes. “We are going to regulate and levy American tech firms,” he said, blamed them for promoting violence and misinformation “under the logic of freedom of expression.”Brazilian Foreign Relations Minister Mauro Viera said that there was no direct communication between Lula and Trump, but confirmed that Lula was open for talks. “If the circumstances are given, they will say,” Viera said, as CNN Brasil said.In addition, Lula indicated a desire to find common land. He told CNN, “The best thing in the world is to sit around a table and talk.” “If President Trump is ready to take the ongoing conversation between Brazil and America seriously, whatever I need is necessary, I will be open -minded to interact.”Meanwhile, tension proceeded because the US announced an investigation on what the “unfair” trade practices by Brazil said. According to the United States Trade Representative (USTR), the investigation will focus on issues including digital trade, electronic payment, tariffs, corruption and intellectual property rights.Lula is expected to give a television address to the nation later on Thursday, in which it is likely to explain in detail about the Brazilian stance and prepare the next steps in the growing business dispute.At home, political stress is working in favor of Lula. Their approval rating has recently seen an optic as many Brazilians support their firm stand in defending national interests.
