The decision was announced on Monday (6), after a connection of about 30 minutes between the presidents and.
Rubio will be responsible for coordinating conversations with the vice president and minister of industry, Chancellor Mauro Vieira and the Minister of Finance ,. For Eduardo Bolsonaro, the secretary knows Latin America well and knows how leftist regimes can instrumentalize the judiciary, which, according to him, makes Rubio fit to deal with the Brazilian government.
Gostenes Cavalcante stated that the designation shows that Trump made it clear that responsibility for tariffs falls on Lula and that Rubio, considered “more ideological” than the US president himself, will be the direct interlocutor of the Planalto.
The conversation between Lula and Trump had a friendly tone and addressed the revocation of the 40% surcharge applied in August, as well as other restrictions imposed on Brazilian authorities, including sanctions of the magnitsky law against Minister Alexandre de Moraes and his wife. The Brazilian government stressed that it will respect Trump’s decision to involve Rubio in the negotiations, while the two presidents maintain direct contact and study face -to -face meetings at international events, such as COP30, in Belém, and the Asean summit in Malaysia.
