Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Friday slammed U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies and sweeping tariffs, saying they harm multilateralism as he met with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Moscow.

"The latest decisions by the U.S. president to unilaterally put tariffs on trade with all countries in the world undermine the great idea of free trade and strengthening multilateralism," Lula said during a bilateral meeting with Putin.

The leftist leader said he intends to strengthen Brazil's strategic partnership with Russia, citing "political, commercial, cultural, scientific and technological interests" as he sees room to increase trade.

I remember when Brazil was run by the very Trumpian Bolsonaro.

But then our derpstate/CIA helped rigged the election to overthrow him.

If it WAS free trade it would not be an issue. So everyone believes that all nations can put tariffs on US good but the US cannot.

That is EXACTLY the opposite of “Free Trade”!

Dumba$$s!!

He would merengue, and do the cha cha, and while he tried to be a star,
Putin always Tended bar, across the Crowded floor,
They worked from 8 til 4 They were young and they had each other, who could Ask For More

Cubans with radical Democrat and Russian/Chinese/Iranian/Palestinian backing.

Cuba most definitely has been involved in the communist movements against him down there and in equivalent troubles in Venezuela and Nicaragua.

They don’t really make any secret of it but they don’t brag either.

Brazil charges us between 10 and 60 percent depending on the goods, but that’s okay. Trump bad for wanting a level playing field. Oh how they protest too much.

Strange how none of the tariffs that 180+ nations have against 180+ other nations are a problem whatsoever... only tariffs from the one nation that has BY FAR the fewest tariffs on earth... Hmmm...
