Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva have held what Brazil described as a constructive meeting on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit in Kuala Lumpur, raising hope for improved relations after stinging US tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>Lula said the Sunday meeting with Trump \u2013 who is an ally of his political rival, embattled former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro \u2013 was \u201cgreat\u201d and added that their countries\u2019 negotiating teams would get to work \u201cimmediately\u201d to tackle tariffs and other issues.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2

list<\/span><\/section>\n<p>\u201cWe agreed that our teams will meet immediately to advance the search for solutions to the tariffs and sanctions against Brazilian authorities,\u201d Lula said in a message on X following the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Trump had linked the July tariff move \u2013 which brought duties on most Brazilian goods entering the US to 50 percent from 10 percent \u2013 to what he called a \u201cwitch hunt\u201d against Bolsonaro, far-right leader who has been sentenced to 27 years in prison for attempting a coup after losing the 2022 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro\u2019s supporters rioted in the political centre of the country\u2019s capital, evoking a riot by Trump\u2019s supporters in Washington, DC on January 6, two years earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The US government has also sanctioned numerous Brazilian officials, including Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who oversaw the trial that led to Bolsonaro\u2019s conviction.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the meeting on Sunday, though, Trump said he could reach some agreements with Lula and expected the two countries to enjoy strong ties despite his concerns about Bolsonaro\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we should be able to make some pretty good deals for both countries,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>Lula previously described the US tariff hike as a \u201cmistake\u201d, citing a $410bn US trade surplus with Brazil over 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conclude-negotiations-in-weeks\">\u2018Conclude negotiations in weeks\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira said that negotiations would start immediately and that Brazil had requested a pause in tariffs while talks proceed, though it was unclear whether the US had agreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope to conclude bilateral negotiations that address each of the sectors of the current American [tariffs on] Brazil in the near future, in a few weeks,\u201d Vieira said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Lula also offered to help mediate between the US and Venezuela, where Washington has deployed its largest warship and threatened ground strikes targeting alleged drug cartels, operations Caracas has denounced as \u201cfabricated\u201d pretexts for war.<\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro was not mentioned during the Trump-Lula meeting, said Marcio Rosa, the executive secretary for Brazil\u2019s Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Higher US tariffs on Brazilian goods have begun reshaping the global beef trade, pushing up prices in the US and encouraging triangulation via third countries such as Mexico, while Brazilian exports to China continue to boom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both countries\u2019
