BRICS, Big Techs, Rare Lands, Chinese satellite. Every two or three days someone arrives with a new theory about what the “real interest” would be. I prefer to keep Trump’s answer, the only one who explains his original ameaça letter, his later lines and the sanctions announced by Marco Rubio: his real desire is really to save Bolsonaro. How to get out of this?
Other countries have already achieved agreements. Their situation-which have not suffered political-legal blackmail-is easier than ours. Still, you can keep some lessons.
Much has been said that the agreement between and the US is bad for Europeans. , which was 15% (before, it was around 1.5%), as well as the trilionry demands for energy and investment.
Perhaps it was the best possible. First, because 30% threatened by Trump rates would be much more destructive. Second, because a category of goods with zero tariff, which can be expanded. Third because there is much to be decided in the thorough discussion of the terms, which, by running outside the spotlight, should not attract Trump’s attention either.
Trump is more concerned with feeding his vanity, being treated as a winner than with any real achievement. In the recent agreement with Japan, it has already been revealed that the terms that looked very beneficial to the US – and were announced by Trump – are quite different from what has boasted.
Let us remember the beginning of the mandate: When Trump, some symbolic concessions by President Claudia Sheinbaum were enough for him to go back. Lower your head, adopt a pragmatic posture, and negotiate without ufanyblands it works better with Trump than climbing the conflict. When, on the other hand, the president of Colombia aroused his nationalist bras to face Trump, he was run over.
Trump is a personalist leader. Building a relationship with it is an important part of any negotiation with the US. This is what British Prime Minister Keir Stmerer did, like Lula, is a leftist leader. His posture was pragmatic from the beginning. The first conversation between him and Trump took place even before the American election: still in the election campaign, when Trump suffered the attack, Stmerer called to provide solidarity. At the victory, the Prime Minister again offered to call to congratulate. Now the United Kingdom has the best deal with the US.
In Brazil, in the last campaign Lula said that a victory of Trump would be “Nazism and fascism with another face”. The months passed passed without any conversation between the two. On July 10, when asked why he hadn’t met Trump or once, Lula said “there was no subject.”
This is the past. Now, while senators and others seek to negotiate unsuccessfully, Lula oscillates between appeasing speeches and grandiloquent challenges. Brazilian production and thousands of jobs are at risk. It is time for Lula to swallow his pride, definitely change his tone and seek Trump. The connection so neglected by our president all this time can be the only thing that can reverse or postpone the worst. Maybe you don’t give anything; But that’s what a responsible leader would do.
