'Will call PM Modi': Brazil's Lula snubs Trump amid tariff row; rejects offer to reach out
Wednesday, 6 August 2025 () Brazilian President Lula da Silva plans to challenge Donald Trump's 50% tariffs by contacting global leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping. Despite tensions, Lula will use the WTO to defend Brazil's interests. He refuted Trump's justification for the tariffs, viewing it as an attack on Brazil's sovereignty.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has delivered a fiery rebuke to the United States, accusing Washington of aiding a coup in Brazil and using economic threats as political weapons. Speaking at a Workers’ Party event in Brasília, Lula condemned the 50% tariff threat from President...
In a bold response to Trump’s steep 50% tariffs, India and Brazil have vowed to deepen strategic and trade ties. Following a key call between PM Modi and President Lula, both leaders condemned unilateral sanctions and pledged to defend multilateralism. They agreed on a joint framework spanning trade, energy, defense, and technology, aiming to boost bilateral trade to $20 billion by 2030. Lula confirmed a 2026 India visit, while VP Alckmin will attend trade talks in New Delhi this October.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has drawn a firm line in the sand after the United States imposed hefty 50% tariffs on Brazilian exports. In a striking interview with Reuters, Lula declared he won’t initiate talks with President Trump that might “humiliate” his nation—saying he’ll only engage if he senses genuine willingness to negotiate. Brazil isn't retaliating with reciprocal tariffs but is pursuing WTO consultations and prepping domestic support for affected industries. Lula also unveils plans to mobilize BRICS partners like India and China for a coordinated response.
Firmly asserting Brazil’s economic sovereignty, he criticized Trump’s interference in a sovereign country’s legal affairs, particularly related to the prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Emphasizing mutual respect in diplomacy, Lula called for dignified engagement-pointing to Trump’s public humiliations of other world leaders as unacceptable conduct. He’s offering negotiation-but on his terms only.

Lula Vs Trump: Brazilian President Lula da Silva launched a fiery attack on U.S. President Donald Trump, slamming his threat to impose 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods as “unacceptable blackmail.” The diplomatic clash erupted after Trump linked the tariffs to Brazil dropping legal charges against former president Jair Bolsonaro over his alleged coup attempt. In a defiant televised address, Lula vowed that no foreign leader would dictate terms to Brazil, calling Trump’s move a grave assault on national sovereignty.

World powers are aligning against the U.S. as Trump’s aggressive tariff policies fuel backlash. At the upcoming SCO summit in China, leaders including Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Narendra Modi will present a united front against Western dominance. Trump’s penalties on India and Brazil have only pushed them closer to the anti-Western bloc, with Russia emerging as the common thread binding these nations. Experts warn that tariffs may not only damage U.S. economic ties but also accelerate the rise of a multipolar world order.

At the Washington summit, Donald Trump didn’t just attend — he dominated, humiliated, and exposed Europe’s weakness on the world stage. Russian analyst Fyodor Lukyanov declares that the EU no longer acts as an independent power but as Washington’s obedient puppet, bowing to Trump’s moods and accepting America’s dictates. According to Lukyanov, the EU’s leaders now flatter the U.S. president, hoping praise will buy influence, but instead they only confirm their subservience. The summit wasn’t really about Ukraine but about showcasing Europe’s reliance on American approval. While nations like China, India, and Brazil resist U.S. pressure, Europe folds without a fight. Lukyanov warns this isn’t just Trump’s personality but a structural decline in Europe’s autonomy. Once able to assert its own interests, the EU has now lost the courage to define them. For Russia, he argues, the EU has become irrelevant — a bloc with illusions but no real power.

A German daily, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), has claimed that Donald Trump tried calling PM Narendra Modi four times after imposing a 50% tariff on Indian goods—yet Modi never picked up. The paper headlined the report “Trump Calls, But Modi Doesn’t Answer”, noting India’s refusal to bow under U.S. pressure. Unlike China, Canada, Mexico, and the EU that partially compromised, New Delhi stood firm, prioritizing farmers and domestic industries—signaling U.S.-India ties have hit their lowest point.

China has blasted Israel after a deadly strike on Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex killed 47 people, including six journalists. Beijing’s foreign ministry said it was “shocked,” accusing Israel of deliberately targeting civilians while the world looks away. The incident highlights Israel’s record as the deadliest conflict zone for journalists in decades. With Iran threatening war, its navy staging massive drills, and China-Russia aligning at the SCO summit, Netanyahu faces mounting international isolation and the risk of a wider regional explosion.

Tensions are escalating in the Caribbean as the United States deploys three Aegis-equipped guided-missile destroyers — USS Gravely, USS Jason Dunham, and USS Sampson — off the Venezuelan coast. The move comes just days after Washington raised its bounty on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to $50 million, accusing him of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking. Maduro condemned the U.S. naval deployment as “illegal” and a blatant “regime change attempt,” warning that any aggression against Venezuela would amount to an attack on all of Latin America and the Caribbean. In a pointed message, he invoked China, brandishing a Huawei phone allegedly gifted by Xi Jinping, and mocked U.S. efforts while showcasing ties with Beijing. China has strongly opposed the U.S. buildup, accusing Washington of violating sovereignty. With mounting pressure, Maduro faces heightened risks while aligning with Russia, Iran, and China against U.S. policies in the region.

BRICS Summit 2025: India takes center stage at the BRICS 2025 Summit in Rio de Janeiro as Prime Minister Narendra Modi leads a powerful charge from the Global South against Trump’s aggressive tariff policy. With 10 nations participating—including new member Indonesia—this year’s summit focuses on fair global governance, climate action, and reforming outdated world institutions like the UN, WTO, and World Bank. As the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India is pushing for a more equitable trade system and calling for collective resistance against economic coercion. Modi’s leadership is not only uniting BRICS but also redefining it—asserting India as the democratic anchor of a bloc once overshadowed by China. India’s role in the New Development Bank and its calls for tech cooperation, sustainable development, and regional peace underscore its rising influence in shaping a new world order.
