About: expand trade relations and international agreements
So, we've just brought to the audience a bit about the government's move to tighten commercial ties with other countries in the aftermath of the tariff barrage.
- Neutral

About: bring WTO action against foreign tariff measures
So the Brazilian government filed a case with the WTO against the recent tariff barrage.
Desconhecido
And what's your reading, your opinion about these tariffs, about the government's reaction?
Desconhecido
How do you see that?
About: expand trade relations and international agreements
I think Brazil has to increasingly seek commercial partners and that it's a stupid move by the American government to implement these successive tariffs, because that pushes us away from the United States, it reduces the United States' share in the Brazilian economy at a moment when tightening commercial relations with Brazil would also strengthen a geopolitical position for the United States.
- Neutral
About: expand trade relations and international agreements
The more they impose tariffs against us, the more they push us toward China, the more they push us toward other trading partners, to Southeast Asia, to the European Union, and so on.
- Against
About: impose tariffs on Brazilian imports
I think this is a short-term strategy by the American government to try to bring back the industry they lost, mainly to China over recent years, but I don't think, generally speaking, it will be successful.
About: negotiate trade disputes with the United States through diplomatic dialogue
Of course... Trump's tariff barrage became a political platform in Brazil, with Bolsonaro supporters shifting the blame onto Lula, who in fact conducts an incompetent and lazy negotiation. It suits Lula to have a tariff barrage against Brazil, because his government is doing poorly, his administration is poorly rated, and there's nothing better for a poorly rated government than an external enemy to divert attention.
On the other side, you have... from Flávio Bolsonaro, that claim that the tariffs wouldn't be against the companies, they'd be against Lula.
- Neutral
About: export Brazilian products to the United States
Lula doesn't export anything to the United States; companies export, so he is not harmed at all.
- Neutral
About: impose tariffs on Brazilian imports
At the same time he says, look, the timing of the tariff barrage is bad, as if there were a good time for Brazil to suffer that.
- Neutral
About: impose economic sanctions against Brazil
In practice, sanctions by the United States.
About: increase investment in infrastructure, skills training, and science and technology
So, unfortunately, Brazil, like over the last 40 years, didn't do its homework, didn't implement tax reform, didn't implement administrative reform, didn't invest in infrastructure, didn't invest in workforce training; Brazil fell behind other emerging countries and we have a very weak domestic economy that does not put us in a position.
About: strengthen the domestic economy to reduce vulnerability to tariff measures
to defend ourselves adequately against Trump's tariff barrage, which is doing its role of defending the United States' interests.
- Neutral
About: prioritize national interests in international security decisions
I have no illusions, as some on the right tend to believe that Trump is concerned with freedom of expression in Brazil or anything else.
- Neutral
About: prioritize national interests in international security decisions
Trump is concerned with the United States, the same way he imposes tariffs on other countries around the world.
About: strengthen the Brazilian economy
Unfortunately, the Brazilian political class, which is not concerned with Brazil and did not strengthen our economy in past decades, so that we wouldn't be in a pathetic position of being a hostage to China and the United States and of constantly hearing insults from the European Union, we wouldn't be in this position if we had solved our domestic problems long ago.
Anyway, in any case, we're in that situation.
I think it's natural.
- Neutral
About: expand trade relations and international agreements
With these tariffs, the United States ends up pushing us toward other trading partners.
About: diversify trade partners to reduce dependence on exports to China
I don't think that this commercial space should be exclusive to China.
About: approve and ratify the Free Trade Agreement between Mercosur and Singapore
Personally, within the Chamber of Deputies, I voted in favor — I think the main agreement of Brazil with the ASEAN was the Brazil-Mercosur-Singapore Free Trade Agreement.
- Neutral
About: advance negotiations of a free trade agreement between Japan and Mercosur
There is currently a negotiation for a Mercosur-Japan Free Trade Agreement.
- Neutral
About: advance a trade agreement with the European Union
And there was progress on the agreement with the European Union.
About: approve and ratify the Free Trade Agreement between Mercosur and Singapore
So, Brazil should have made these agreements a long time ago.
About: approve and ratify the Free Trade Agreement between Mercosur and Singapore
Of course there is also resistance from some productive sectors in other countries, but Brazil also lacked effort.
- Neutral
About: diversify trading partners to reduce dependence on the United States
And the more the United States pushes us toward other economies, the worse it is for the United States.
Desconhecido
That's right.
