    #Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva harshly criticized U.S. President Donald Trump following the implementation of a 50% #tariff on #Brazilian exports. #Lula called #Trump “authoritarian” with “anti-civilizational” behavior and accused him of creating “problems where there were none.”

    “A president must not humiliate himself before another president. I respect everyone and demand respect in return,” Lula told Reuters, rejecting the idea of a phone call with Trump. “He doesn’t want to talk, and I have no intention of doing so.”
