In a fiery escalation of U.S.-Brazil tensions, Donald Trump has publicly defended former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, slamming Brazilâs legal proceedings against him as âvery unfair.â Trump called Bolsonaro a âgood manâ and âtough negotiator,â drawing outrage from current President Lula da Silva, who warned the U.S. of âreciprocal tariffsâ if Trumpâs threatened 50% import duties go into effect.
Lula condemned Trumpâs remarks and questioned the legitimacy of his defense, particularly as Bolsonaro faces trial for plotting to prevent Lulaâs presidency in 2023. Despite Trump's stance, Brazil's government downplayed the tariffâs impact, projecting continued growth. Tensions flared as Lula said while Brazil seeks dialogue, it would not bow to threats. Trump hinted at a conversation with Lula but showed no urgency. As the 2025 global trade climate heats up, this Trump-Bolsonaro-Lula standoff marks a dramatic pivot in diplomatic tone between two major Western Hemisphere powers.
