Lula BLASTS Trump, Rejects “Humiliation” Of Tariff Talks As U.S Slaps 50% Duties On Brazil Goods

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 #Trump #Brazil #TradeWar #Tariffs #WTO #BRICS #USBrazilRelations #Sovereignty #Diplomacy #NoHumiliation #50PercentTariff #ReutersInterview #EconomicSovereignty #TradeDiplomacy #GlobalTrade #LatinAmerica #StrategicMinerals #RespectInDiplomacy #TradeCrisis ~HT.318~ED.346~

Brazilian Congress Erupts in Protest Over Bolsonaro’s Arrest|Tape Mouths, Threaten Action Against SC

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. #Bolsonaro #BrazilCongress #BrazilProtests #HouseArrest #SupremeCourt #AlexandreDeMoraes #FlavioBolsonaro #BrazilPolitics #AmnestyNow #WitchHunt #Brasilia #JairBolsonaro #LatinAmericaCrisis #DemocracyUnderFire #PoliticalShowdown ~HT.318~ED.103~PR.274~

Brazil Jails Trump’s Ally Bolsonaro—White House WARNS of Consequences as Trade WAR with Lula Ignites

Brazil’s political crisis just went global. Former President Jair Bolsonaro has been placed under house arrest by Brazil’s Supreme Court for allegedly plotting a coup to stay in power after losing the 2022 election. But the arrest has sparked international outrage — especially from former U.S. President Donald Trump, who blasted the move as a “witch hunt” targeting one of his closest allies. In retaliation, the U.S. administration has imposed a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, linking it directly to Bolsonaro’s legal case. Trump and U.S. officials are calling out Brazil’s judiciary for “silencing” Bolsonaro and demanding that he be allowed to speak publicly. #Bolsonaro #Trump #BrazilNews #WitchHunt #TradeWar #USBrazilRelations #JairBolsonaro #TrumpAlly #LulaDaSilva #BrazilPolitics #GlobalCrisis #TariffWar #BolsonaroTrial #PoliticalPersecution #BreakingNews

ON CAM: Trump Humiliates European Leaders | EU Grovel In Washington, Reduced To Flattery & Obedience

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. #Trump #EU #Europe #NATO #WashingtonSummit #Ukraine #Russia #FyodorLukyanov #Geopolitics #WorldPolitics #USvsEU #TrumpSummit #EUHumiliation #GlobalOrder #TransatlanticRelations #EUWeakness #Putin #Zelensky #PoliticalDrama #InternationalRelations ~ED.102~HT.408~
