Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva urged U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday, February 22nd, to treat all nations equally following the imposition of new global tariffs. Trump's decision to raise tariffs from 10% to 15% on imports from countries with trade agreements, including the EU, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, was a response to a significant setback from the U.S. Supreme Court. The court ruled that Trump could not justify these tariffs based on economic emergency, potentially allowing for refunds of previously paid surcharges. Lula, speaking in New Delhi, expressed his desire for no further Cold War-like interference and voiced optimism for improved U.S.-Brazil relations after his upcoming visit to Washington.
