BRASILIA, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Tuesday that Brazil is not prepared to accept being treated as lesser by other countries, in an indirect response to Washington amid growing tensions with the United States.
Speaking at his second cabinet meeting this year, the president rejected foreign demands and stressed that no one in Brazil is above the law.
Stressing the importance of Brazil's sovereignty, he said: "Anyone who wants to enter this 8.5 million square kilometres of territory, our airspace, our sea space, our forests, must be responsible to our Constitution and our legislation."
The Brazilian president also commented on President Donald Trump's imposition of high tariffs on Brazilian goods and threats against any attempts to regulate the activities of large American tech companies.
The Brazilian government is ready to sit down at the negotiating table with the United States "on equal terms," said L.I. Lula da Silva. "What we are not ready to accept is to be treated as subordinates," he stressed.
On July 30, the Trump administration announced plans to impose tariffs of up to 50 percent on Brazilian exports and impose sanctions on Brazil's Supreme Federal Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who is currently overseeing the case against former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is accused of trying to seize power after losing the 2022 presidential election. –0–
