President of Brazil criticized US measures against Brazil during the 60th UNE Congress
At the 60th UNE Congress, held in Goiânia, the president (PT) made harsh criticism of the rates imposed on Brazilian products. “It is not a gringo that will order this President of the Republic,” he said.

Lula also commented on Trump’s letter. “The letter does not speak of negotiation, the letter is as follows: either gives or descends. This is the logic of the letter. ‘Either releases Bolsonaro because his son is here filling me: free my father, he frees my father, frees my father,” he said.
Lula spoke about the capitol, and said that Trump would be arrested if he did the same in Brazil. “If Trump lived in Brazil and he tried to do here in Brazil what he did in the Capitol, he was certainly also tried and could be arrested,” he said, referring to the invasion of the headquarters of the American Legislature on January 6, 2021. He also addressed the management of and again attacking the clan. “Now, [Bolsonaro] Send his son to the US, ‘Go ask for Trump to acquit me, go there, go asking, go.’ And it is embraced on the American flag, this fake patriot. We will take the green and yellow flag. The green and yellow flag will be the Brazilian people again, ”said the president.
Lula also promised the taxation of American big techs. “This country is sovereign only because the Brazilian people are proud of this country. We will judge and will charge tax from US digital companies.” The UNE Congress, which was attended by approximately three thousand participants, had as its motto “Brazil joins sovereignty.” The event was an opportunity to discuss topics relevant to the nation, with the presence of several leaders and representatives of civil society.
