According to Reuters, on the local time of the 11th, in response to Brazilian President Lula's statement that Brazil would take equivalent countermeasures against the U.S. tariffs, U.S. President Trump said he is not yet ready to talk to Lula.
According to reports, in response to Trump's threat to impose a 50% tariff on Brazil, Lula previously stated that Brazil would seek diplomatic solutions, but if the tariffs announced by Trump come into effect on August 1st, Brazil will "take equivalent countermeasures."
On the 11th, when leaving the White House, Trump commented on the possibility of talking to Lula: "Maybe at some point in the future I will talk to him, but not now."
The Brazilian government expects the economic growth rate to reach 2.5% in 2025, and the impact of the U.S. tariff policy on Brazil as a whole is limited. At the same time, the United States remains an important buyer of Brazilian steel, pulp, coffee, orange juice, and beef. The Brazilian government stated that these goods can find other markets as alternatives.
