Conversation between the presidents
The Government announced this Tuesday (2) that the president called the American president. In a call that lasted 40 minutes, the leaders discussed various topics, such as the economy and the fight against organized crime, according to Planalto. It also reported that the PT member indicated that the decision to remove 40% tariffs on some Brazilian products was positive, but that other tariffed products need to be negotiated.
Lula would also have reinforced to Trump the urgency of cooperation in actions against organized crime, which would have been well accepted by the American, who was “willing to work together with Brazil and will give full support to joint initiatives between the two countries to confront these criminal organizations”, says the statement. Trump has been carrying out recurring attacks on vessels in the Caribbean with the justification that they were taking drugs to the United States.
