SS: Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva dialled Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday to discuss the fallout of US President Donald Trump imposing 50% tariffs on both countries, and the two leaders pledged to deepen bilateral cooperation in areas ranging from trade and energy to defence and technology.
US tariffs on India and Brazil jumped to 50% on Wednesday, among the highest imposed by Trump, who tied new levies on Brazil to his demand for ending the prosecution of right-wing former president Jair Bolsonaro, and imposed an additional penalty on India for its purchases of Russian oil.
Modi said on social media that he had a “good conversation” with Lula, whom he met on the margins of the BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro last month. “We are committed to deepening our Strategic Partnership, including in trade, energy, tech, defence, health and more. A strong, people-centric partnership between Global South nations benefits everyone,” he said.
Lula said in a social media post that the hour-long phone conversation focused on the international economic scenario and the “imposition of unilateral tariffs”
