Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva called a cabinet meeting to discuss the government’s response to US President Donald Trump’s stated plan to impose a 50% tariff on imports from Brazil. Lula said the tariffs would be met with reciprocal measures, and the government said it would form a working group to determine its response.
