Lula reacciona al intento de Flávio de posponer las tarifas y vuelve a llamar a Bolsonaro "traidor de la patria"

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva responded to efforts by Flávio Bolsonaro, son of President Jair Bolsonaro, to urge the United States to delay new tariffs against Brazil. Lula accused Flávio of being subservient to the US and called him a 'traitor to the homeland,' attributing the imposition of tariffs to the Bolsonaro family. Flávio had requested the US administration under Donald Trump to defer the application of 25% import tariffs on Brazilian goods for 180 days, arguing that such measures could strengthen Lula politically ahead of presidential elections. Lula rejected this initiative, calling it 'sellout' behavior and asserting that Brazil negotiates on equal terms with any country. The article notes that the tariffs are based on Section 301 investigations into alleged harm to US interests due to Brazilian trade practices. Flávio’s document claims previous tariffs did not achieve desired outcomes and were used by the Brazilian government as a rhetorical defense of national sovereignty. It also cites opinion polls showing that Lula's electoral position has strengthened during periods of heightened US tariff pressure. Lindbergh Farias, a PT deputy leader in the Chamber of Depe
