Brazil's Lula dials PM Modi as Trump slaps 50% tariff on both nations
Thursday, 7 August 2025 () President Lula da Silva and PM Modi discussed the US tariffs impacting both Brazil and India, exploring deeper integration. Lula accepted Modi's invitation to visit India early next year, reinforcing India's upcoming BRICS presidency. Both leaders emphasized multilateralism amidst global challenges.
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...
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.

Indian NSA Ajit Doval has confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin will be visiting India later this year. This visit marks a pivotal moment in geopolitics, coming just as U.S.-India relations sour over Trump’s harsh new tariffs. Following Washington's backlash against New Delhi’s Russian oil imports, India has pushed back, defending its energy policy. Putin’s trip signals Moscow’s commitment to deeper strategic ties. As Trump threatens secondary sanctions, India and Russia are visibly aligning to counter U.S. pressure, reshaping alliances in a rapidly polarizing global order.

Donald Trump has declared that “billions are flowing into America” due to his latest round of tariff hikes, which took effect August 7. Claiming an economic windfall, Trump said the tariffs will restore jobs and cut trade deficits. However, critics and netizens quickly fact-checked the boast, noting that U.S. importers—not foreign governments—pay the tariffs. Many accused Trump of economic deception, warning that the increased duties—now as high as 41%—could spark inflation and hurt American consumers and industries.

The India US Tariffs issue is grabbing global attention. With Trump imposing an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, raising the total to 50%, serious questions are being raised. Why is India being targeted for Russian oil imports while China escapes sanctions? The India US Tariffs move could be linked to Operation Sindoor, energy geopolitics, and Trump's global ambitions. Is this trade pressure a diplomatic tool? The India US Tariffs episode could define the future of Indo-US ties.

Brazil's political crisis deepens as lawmakers in Congress stage a dramatic protest against the Supreme Court's decision to place former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest for violating a social media ban. Members from six major right-wing parties—including PL, PP, PSD, Novo, and Republicans—taped their mouths shut and threatened to occupy the plenary halls of both the House and Senate. Flávio Bolsonaro denounced the judiciary’s actions as a targeted assault on his family, while senior MPs demanded total amnesty and even impeachment of Minister Alexandre de Moraes. With threats of “war” from Bolsonaro’s allies and growing public anger, Brazil faces a possible constitutional showdown.

In a dramatic geopolitical shift, Russia has withdrawn from a long-standing military cooperation agreement with Germany, originally signed in 1996. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin's move follows a cascade of sanctions from Western allies and Germany’s support for Ukraine. Russia's Foreign Ministry labeled Berlin's stance as "openly hostile" and accused Germany of pursuing aggressive militaristic policies.
The collapse of this bilateral framework underscores Moscow's pivot toward nations like North Korea, Iran, and China. In recent weeks, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un—who pledged unconditional support for Russia’s war—and Iranian officials during the BRICS summit. Meanwhile, President Putin hinted at retaliatory arming of regions to strike Western targets. As the West distances itself from Moscow, Russia deepens its ties with fellow sanctioned states, signaling a bold new strategic alignment.

During the signing of the landmark GENIUS Act, President Trump launched a spectacular verbal assault on BRICS, calling the bloc a “little group fading fast”, accusing it of trying to dethrone the US dollar. He reaffirmed his threat of a 10% tariff on any country joining the alliance, claiming the measure “hit them very hard” and caused BRICS attendance to collapse. Trump emphasized the GENIUS Act’s role in cementing American leadership in crypto and finance, proudly noting, “They named it after me!”
He portrayed the protection of the dollar's reserve status as vital—comparable to “not losing a World War.” Meanwhile, the newly passed law establishes regulatory clarity for stablecoins, bolstering US dominance in digital currency while rejecting central bank digital currency. Trump delivered his usual bombast: BRICS must never “play games with us.” Critics point out there's little evidence BRICS plans a dollar coup, but Trump’s economic war strategy is on full display.
