Brazilian President Luis Inasio Lula da Silva stated on Wednesday that customs duties for 50 percent declared US President Donald Trump are activating the law on economic “appeal” in Brazil, which allows the suspension of trade, investment and intellectual agreements with countries that damage the country’s competitiveness.
Lula added, in a clearly formulated statement: “Brazil is a sovereign state and has independent institutions, and it will not be recognized as an underestimation of which side.”
The President of Brazil defended the judicial system in his country, noting that over the past 15 years, the United States has reached an excess of more than $ 410 billion.
Trump announced the introduction of new fees for goods received from Brazil, pointing to the “unjust appeal” of former President Brazil Jayer Bolsonaro, who is currently charged with attempting a coup against elections in 2022.
This decision, according to observers, shows that personal motives, not only economic, can be for the use of Tremb customs duties.
