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.

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 Donald Trump as “economic blackmail,” and vowed that Brazil would not bow to “unequal treatment.” Without specifying the incident, Lula recalled a past U.S.-backed coup, possibly referring to 1964 or the 2016 impeachment of Dilma Rousseff.
The warning comes as tensions escalate over BRICS’ growing influence and its call to reduce dollar dependence. Lula emphasized that Brazil, no longer reliant on the U.S., is ready to negotiate but only as equals. The 50% tariff would be the highest imposed on any country, signaling a major rift in U.S.-Brazil relations. Lula’s defiance now sets the stage for a global showdown over sovereignty and trade.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
