Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva held a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday to address an ongoing trade dispute between the two nations. During the conversation, President Lula requested the removal of U.S. tariffs on Brazilian goods, characterizing the measures as being imposed on baseless grounds.
The diplomatic outreach follows the U.S. government's decision to implement two new sets of tariffs on Brazilian imports in July. The call represents a formal attempt by the Brazilian administration to resolve the economic friction resulting from these recent trade policies.
