US-Brazil Tensions: Trump BACKS Bolsonaro, SLAMS Lula | Brazil THREATENS US With Reciprocal Tariffs
In a fiery escalation of U.S.-Brazil tensions, Donald Trump has publicly defended former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, slamming Brazil’s legal proceedings against him as “very unfair.” Trump called Bolsonaro a “good man” and “tough negotiator,” drawing outrage from current President Lula da Silva, who warned the U.S. of “reciprocal tariffs” if Trump’s threatened 50% import duties go into effect.
Lula condemned Trump’s remarks and questioned the legitimacy of his defense, particularly as Bolsonaro faces trial for plotting to prevent Lula’s presidency in 2023.
Despite Trump's stance, Brazil's government downplayed the tariff’s impact, projecting continued growth.
Tensions flared as Lula said while Brazil seeks dialogue, it would not bow to threats.
Trump hinted at a conversation with Lula but showed no urgency.
As the 2025 global trade climate heats up, this Trump-Bolsonaro-Lula standoff marks a dramatic pivot in diplomatic tone between two major Western Hemisphere powers.
Putin has made a bold declaration amid escalating tensions in the Russia-Ukraine war. In a televised address alongside Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Putin confirmed the fall of Chasiv Yar — a key strategic town in Eastern Ukraine — and claimed a decisive advance across the frontline. With Oreshnik’s deployment and increasing momentum for Russian forces, Putin hinted at a major breakthrough in the ongoing Special Military Operation (SMO).

Despite bold rhetoric, President Trump is unlikely to follow through on secondary tariffs targeting Russian trade partners. Speaking in the UK, Trump extended his tariff deadline again, repeating a familiar pattern of threats with little enforcement. Russian markets rose following his speech, reflecting global skepticism. Experts say enforcing tariffs on nations like China or India could backfire, straining diplomatic ties and fueling inflation at home. As Putin vows to continue the Ukraine war, Trump’s tactics seem more bark than bite—aimed at leverage, not real economic penalties.

On Russia’s Navy Day, Ukrainian drones rained over St. Petersburg, forcing the cancellation of a key naval parade and halting flights at Pulkovo Airport. Russia’s Defense Ministry claims it downed 291 drones. Meanwhile, Moscow retaliated with strikes on Kyiv, wounding civilians and damaging homes. In Sumy, a Russian drone hit a civilian bus, killing 3. As the war enters its 1250th day, tensions rise beyond the battlefield, with EU leaders urging Zelensky to preserve anti-corruption reforms and Austria signaling interest in joining NATO.

In a harrowing visit to Gaza’s so-called “Valley of Death,” Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff walked the frontline near an aid distribution zone where nearly 900 civilians have reportedly been killed in recent IDF operations. Joined by international officials and aid workers, Witkoff witnessed first-hand the devastation wrought by shelling in proximity to humanitarian corridors.

India has reportedly declined a U.S. offer to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets, according to Bloomberg. The offer was made by President Trump during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Washington in February. Instead of purchasing American jets, India is prioritizing joint defense manufacturing initiatives and has shown greater interest in the Russian Su-57, especially after its debut at Aero India.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs downplayed Bloomberg’s report, confirming no formal talks on the F-35 have taken place yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports due to a failed trade deal, escalating tensions. Trump also announced India would face a penalty over its continued defense ties with Russia. This deepening rift could impact U.S.-India defense cooperation and reshape future arms procurement.

Anti-Trump Protests: A firestorm of protest has erupted at Brazil’s University of São Paulo as students, civil society groups, lawyers, and social leaders rally to defend Brazilian sovereignty against a fresh round of punitive U.S. tariffs. The protest, led by legal scholars like Celso Campilongo and Ana Elisa Bechara, targeted Donald Trump’s aggressive decision to impose a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods starting August 1 — a move widely seen as a political message to support his ally, Jair Bolsonaro.
Protesters gathered under banners proclaiming “Long Live Brazilian Sovereignty,” calling the move a direct attack on Brazil’s democracy and independence. Tensions are soaring as Washington brushes aside a longstanding trade surplus and centuries-old ties. The U.S. claims of judicial persecution against Bolsonaro have only fueled Brazil's outrage. The message from São Paulo is clear: Brazil refuses to be intimidated. The world is watching as the sovereignty battle unfolds.

As US President Donald Trump threatens to impose 50 percent tariffs on Latin America's largest economy, protesters in Brazil's economic capital of Sao Paulo rally in defense of jobs, local businesses, and national sovereignty.
The July 9 announcement, in which Trump vows steep tariffs as retaliation for what he calls a "witch hunt" against his far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro, has drawn criticism in Brazil.
Demonstrators stage a symbolic "arrest" of both leaders by dressing up as Trump and Bolsonaro, complete with police uniforms.

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.
