Lula declared that he would not hand over mineral resources to the United States, and then his finance minister called on the United States to cooperate in mining!
Brazil's Finance Minister Fernando Haddad hopes to restore economic relations with the White House and advocates signing an agreement with the United States to jointly mine minerals within Brazil.
"We have key minerals and rare earths that the United States does not have. We can reach a cooperation agreement with them."
Haddad said that Brazil still hopes the United States will not abandon investments in South American economies. At the same time, Brazil will continue to seek other partners to sell Brazilian products. The U.S. government previously threatened to impose tariffs of up to 50% on these products. Haddad emphasized that Brazil can easily find new markets for meat and coffee products.
Previously, Brazilian President Lula stated that the United States would not gain the country's mineral resources, and Brazil would independently choose partners to jointly mine minerals.
