It’s no use hiding Trump’s cap, says Lula about Tarcisio

Answer to Trump’s tariff

Solutions are still being debated by the Brazilian government. Yesterday, shortly after sending the open letter to the Brazilian government, in which he promises to retaliate the country with 50%fees, the president gathered the ministerial summit and gave a political response to the US administration.

In the interview, Lula again said he will take action based on the reciprocity law. The president had already nominated yesterday that he would resort to the measure. THE Facto News It found, however, that this should only occur from August 1, if the promises are actually fulfilled.

The possibilities are being discussed. “We can resort to the WTO (World Trade Organization), we can send investigation with other countries, charging from the United States coherence, but what will be the most worth: we have the reciprocity law, which was approved in the National Congress,” said Lula.

Going to the WTO would be a more political measure than practice. Government leaders admit that the organization has no real influence on countries’ decisions, especially about a great power like the United States. The action, however, would also be taken only after August 1st.

“If President Trump knew Brazil a little, he would have more respect,” said Lula. He also accused the American of unaware of the commercial reality between the two countries, “with over 200 years of history.”
