Brasiliens Präsident Lula (l.) und US-Präsident Trump

Trump wants Brazil’s President Lula "in the near future" meet

After months of tensions between the United States and Brazil, US President Donald Trump praised a phone call on Monday with Brazilian head of state Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as “very good”. “We will have further discussions and we will come together in the near future, both in Brazil and in the USA,” Trump explained in his online service Truth Social.

“We discussed a lot of things”, but the focus was on the economy and trade, Trump explained. In turn, the Brazilian presidency announced that the two heads of state had spoken to each other in a “friendly tone” for 30 minutes. Lula had called for the lifting of tariffs to Brazilian products and sanctions.



The Trump government has imposed tariffs of 50 percent on Brazilian products. She also took the Brazilian constitutional judge Alexandre de Moraes with sanctions. The punitive measures were justified with the Brazilian judiciary’s procedure against the ultra-right ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, who denounced Trump as a “witch hunt”.

The right-wing populist US president and the left-wing Brazilian head of state Lula met in September on the sidelines of the UN Generalbatte in New York. Trump then praised his “excellent chemistry” with Lula.
