Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said Thursday that his government has not been successful in trying to negotiate the 50% tariff on Brazilian imports that Donald Trump has threatened to impose.
Washington has ignored Brazil’s attempts to negotiate ahead of the measure’s expected implementation on Aug. 1., the Brazilian leader said.
I hope the left wins in Brazil next year. The BRICS really needs all the traction it can get now. It’s a make or die situation for multilateralism.
