It was the third time only this Thursday (17/7) when the petista reinforced the campaign against the taxation of 50% on Brazilian products, imposed by the White House.
“These days President Trump, the change I don’t know that – perhaps at the request of the son of the thing, the son of the thing is deputy, asked to go there to ask Trump to scam in Brazil -, sends a wireless letter to me … disadvantaged.” If not loose Bolsonaro, August 1 I will tax Brazil in 50%. “

The president considered the request for the lawsuits against former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) to be interrupted. Trump’s ally, the former Mandanker is a defendant in the Supreme Federal Court (STF) for alleged attempted coup d’état. Lula pointed out that the powers are independent and ruled out any measure of the executive to meet the US election. “I am a man born in the negotiation. I was born in political life negotiating, strike and negotiate. In the government I want to do the same, but the US president understands that he is not emperor of the world. To take care of Brazil, the petista said during the event.
Re-election
Lula ended the discourse signaling again that he intends to run for reelection in 2026. “We don’t want to fight, but we are not to flee. Brazil only has one owner, and it is called the Brazilian people. … It is still far from the election. But I want to say that if it is necessary to prevent this class of the thing, it will be sure that I will be a candidate to win these elections.
The insistence on the subject happens because the government came out of the strings and feels that it has gain popularity in the face of the clash with Trump. Lula bets on the idea of an “ordinary enemy” to get closer to the business community and reinforce the image that the government works beyond the left. Only on Thursday, the petista spoke against taxation at a UNE Congress in Goiânia and in an interview with CNN International.
