Brazil Fires Back: “We Will Not Be Controlled”
President Lula responded sharply via X (formerly Twitter), signaling that Brazil will retaliate under its Economic Reciprocity Law.
“Brazil is a sovereign country with independent institutions that will not accept being controlled by anyone,” Lula posted, via translated statement.
Lula’s firm response sets the stage for what could become a major trade clash between the Western Hemisphere’s largest economies, with ripple effects on agriculture, manufacturing, and tech.
