‘HE HATES BRAZIL!’: Lula BLASTS Rubio In ‘Trump Fight’; Brazil-US Trade War Takes New Turn
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has sharply escalated his criticism of Washington, accusing U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio of being a “Bolsonarist” and “anti-Latin American” as a growing tariff dispute puts pressure on Brazil-U.S. relations.Lula claims Rubio acted against an understanding he had reached with President Donald Trump and says Brazil learned about the latest 12.5% tariff increase through the media rather than direct communication. With the existing 25% tariff, some Brazilian exports could now face combined additional tariffs of up to 37.5%.Lula also questioned Rubio’s stance toward Latin America, Cuba and Brazil, intensifying an already heated diplomatic and trade confrontation.
