Lula beats Trump! Because on August 6, Trump stated that Brazil would cancel the 40% ad valorem tariff and only retain a 10% basic tariff. Brazil became the first country to beat Trump in the trade war. For products such as engines, cars, chemicals, and rubber products imported from the United States, Brazil can provide them all. The agricultural products exported by Brazil to the United States, such as coffee, sugar, and orange juice, can be fully received by the East large market. Lula's firm resistance to Trump has sufficient confidence, and he did not retreat at all during the negotiations.

Finally, Trump had to swallow his words back, which made a fool of himself in front of leaders from around the world. Lula's victory shows that the influence of the BRICS countries has opened the curtain on the collapse of American economic hegemony.

One of the most important reasons is that the United States is a trade surplus country with Brazil, meaning Brazil imports more from the United States and exports less. Therefore, Brazil can suppress the United States. Brazil can only reduce its imports from the United States, but the United States cannot bear it. So the United States lost to Brazil.

Brazil has its own advantages. Although Brazil's industry is not very developed, its agriculture and livestock industry are very developed. Moreover, Brazil cooperates a lot with China, including building the Two-Ocean Railway. Brazil is also a big country with a population of more than 200 million, although it is slightly weaker than the United States. In South America, Brazil is definitely a dominant power. It does not want to be continuously suppressed by the United States. The United States has always wanted to be the master of the Americas and must suppress Brazil. Therefore, Brazil can only bring Russia and China into the game in the Americas. And we, with the attitude of suppressing the United States, must help Brazil to contain the United States. Therefore, Trump finally gave in to Lula, not imposing a 50% tariff, but only a 10% tariff. This is indeed Lula's victory.

Lula never yielded to Trump from the beginning, but instead consistently opposed him strongly, saying not a single soft word. This is the real Brazilian tough guy. He absolutely has the strength to withstand various pressures from the United States. We should not let Lula face too many difficulties, and it is appropriate to offer some assistance. Especially, we can sell a large number of industrial products to Brazil, and implement currency swaps with Brazil, not using dollar transactions. This is the best way to help each other.

However, when Lula said that he often watches Chinese Super League matches, the blogger just felt that it was unnecessary. The level of the Chinese Super League matches, probably Lula just watches for fun. In recent years, Brazilian football has not been as strong as before. There were once many talents in Brazil, but in recent years, there have been fewer.

The blogger remembers that when he was in junior high school and high school, Brazilian football talents were really everywhere. Now that Brazil's economy has improved, the number of football talents has decreased. Perhaps this is what is called: the worse the economy, the more football talents; the better the economy, the fewer football talents.
