Brazilian President Lula has suspended trade talks with the United States after President Trump imposed new tariffs on Brazilian exports. Lula accused the U.S. of using economic pressure to interfere in Brazil's internal matters, specifically referencing ongoing legal proceedings against former President Jair Bolsonaro. The new tariffs impact 36% of Brazil's exports to the U.S., prompting Lula to describe the move as economic bullying. In response, Brazil is preparing measures to support affected domestic producers and exporters, including financial aid and government purchases of perishable goods. Tensions remain high as Bolsonaro's supporters protest in Congress and his son lobbies U.S. Republicans for sanctions against Brazil's Supreme Court.

Brasil suspende las negociaciones comerciales con EE.UU. y Lula condena los nuevos aranceles

En una entrevista el miércoles, un desafiante presidente Lula dijo que no se acercará a Donald Trump sobre los aranceles punitivos contra Brasil. Lula acusa al presidente de EE.UU. de utilizar la presión económica para interferir en los asuntos internos de Brasil. asuntos, concretamente para frenar el proceso penal contra el expresidente ultraderechista Jair Bolsonaro, su viejo aliado. Bolsonaro está siendo juzgado por supuestamente conspirar para anular las elecciones de 2022 que perdió frente a Lula. Déjenme decirles algo. Un presidente no puede humillarse por otro presidente. Respeto a todo el mundo. Exijo respeto hacia mí. Los nuevos aranceles afectan al 36% de las exportaciones de Brasil a EE.UU. Lula dice que es un intento escandaloso de Trump para dañar la economía, intimidación pura y simple. El presidente de los Estados Unidos cree que puede dictar normas sobre un país soberano como Brasil. No es aceptable para los Estados Unidos o cualquier país, grande o pequeño, dar un no solicitado sobre nuestra soberanía. Trump y varios funcionarios estadounidenses han defendido a Bolsonaro, calificándolo de víctima de la política a pesar de las abrumadoras pruebas en su contra. Las tensiones aumentaron esta semana después de que Bolsonaro fuera puesto bajo arresto domiciliario por presunta violar las restricciones ordenadas por la corte. El Tribunal Supremo de Brasil considera que existe riesgo de fuga. En el Congreso, los partidarios de Bolsonaro organizaron una protesta prometiendo bloquear toda actividad legislativa hasta que se apruebe una amnistía tanto para Bolsonaro como para los alborotadores que asaltaron edificios gubernamentales en enero de 2023, llamando a los militares a derrocar a Lula. Lula acusa a la familia Bolsonaro de sabotear las relaciones entre EE.UU. y Brasil en beneficio propio. El hijo de Bolsonaro, Eduardo, ha estado presionando a los republicanos estadounidenses para que impongan sanciones a Brasil Tribunal Supremo. Trump respondió añadiendo aranceles del 50% a las sanciones existentes. Creo que Bolsonaro debería ser juzgado por otras cosas, porque lo que está haciendo ahora es poner a los Estados Unidos en contra de Brasil, afectando a la economía brasileña y a los trabajadores brasileños. Y su hijo debe ser condenado como un traidor al país, un traidor a la patria. Mientras tanto, Brasil prepara medidas de contingencia para apoyar a los productores nacionales y exportadores afectados por los aranceles. Se trata de ayudas financieras y compras públicas de productos perecederos, como el pescado, frutas y miel. Monica Yanakev, Aljazeera, Río de Janeiro.
