President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said this Wednesday (17) that the President of the United States, Donald Trump, did “a reckless thing” by suggesting a kind of new tariff for Brazil amid ongoing negotiations between the two countries. "I think what he did was a shameless thing for Brazil. He knows that. That's why I said he continues to act like emperor. We were making an agreement", he said, in a press conference after the end of the G7 summit, in Évian, France. Related news: US report criticizes Brazil on the eve of new Trump tariffs.

Asked if he had spoken to Trump during the summit, Lula said he had not asked for a bilateral meeting with the American president because both countries are still in the negotiation phase. "There was no reason to ask bilaterally. We are negotiating." "When the negotiation ends, if nothing comes of it, I have no problem picking up the phone, calling Trump and setting up another conversation. I was born into the political world negotiating. From a very early age, my life was negotiating with people as powerful as him."
