๐ 'Brazil Doesn't Take Orders': Lula's Message To #TRUMP In Independence Day Speech ๐ง๐ท๐ฅ
In a powerful Independence Day speech, Brazilโs President Lula sent a clear message: Brazil is not a colony and will not take orders from anyone. ๐ง๐ท๐ซ His statement comes after former U.S. President Donald Trump slapped tariffs on Brazilian goods in August, accusing Brazil of a โwitch huntโ against his ally, Jair Bolsonaro.
Lula declared:
"More than 200 years have passed, and we have become sovereign. We are capable of governing and taking care of our land and people without interference. We maintain friendly relations with all countries, but we donโt take orders from anyone." ๐ฌ๐
Trump's tariffs targeted Brazilian goods in retaliation for Bolsonaroโs controversial actions, as Bolsonaro faces trial for allegedly trying to prevent Lula from taking office after his victory in October 2022. โ๏ธ
๐ BRICS Summit: Today, Lula hosts a vital BRICS summit with Russia ๐ท๐บ, India ๐ฎ๐ณ, China ๐จ๐ณ, and South Africa ๐ฟ๐ฆ to discuss Trumpโs tariffs. Lula had previously called for a joint BRICS response to the U.S. actions. Although no joint statement has yet been made, the summitโs outcomes could redefine international trade dynamics. ๐๐
Despite his earlier refusal to engage, Lula remains open to talks with the U.S., signaling that Brazil seeks cooperation, not confrontation. ๐ค๐
In a time when global politics are shifting, Brazilโs sovereignty and independence remain non-negotiable! โ
