'Lula has frequently criticised Trump, but this is the clearest signal yet that he thinks communication between him and his US counterpart is now broken.
Even though the US has a trade surplus with Brazil, Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods in July, citing the trial on coup charges of Brazil's right-wing former president Jair Bolsonaro as a trigger.
Lula described the tariffs as "eminently political" and said US consumers would be facing higher prices for Brazilian goods as a result.'
All very reasonable, but
'The Brazilian president attended the World War Two anniversary celebrations in Russia this year and has not cut ties with President Putin. Asked who he had a better relationship with - Trump or Putin - he defended his ties to the latter, saying they had formed them when they had both been presidents "in previous times".' |  |

He can't afford to cut off both sides - or at least it wouldn't be wise to do so. Brazil is not so powerful and stable it can stand on its own as an independent. |  |
