The meeting, which lasted approximately 1h15, addressed important topics for the bilateral relationship, with emphasis on the 50% tariff imposed by the USA on Brazilian products.
Vieira highlighted that most of the meeting was attended by advisors, but that he and Rubio had a 20-minute private moment to deal directly with the issues.
