After Trump’s letter to Lula, politicians in power say that the pockets are “traitors”; And the pockets blame the foreign policy with a pedestal.
In addition to an impact on the economy, the new 50% rate on Brazilian products announced by the President of the United States Donald Trump also immediately repercussions in the Brazilian political and institutional world.
Trump’s letter hardly states that the decision is a response to the persecution that former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) suffered in Brazil, due to the faces of the criminal proceeding to the Supreme Court (Stf), accused of having conducted an attempt at a coup.
Faced with Trump’s decision, President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva (PT) defined an emergency meeting with his ministers team.
On social networks, Lula said that “the judicial process against those who planned the coup d’état is only the competence of Brazilian justice and, therefore, is not subject to any type of interference or threat that makes the independence of national institutions”.
In the text, Lula also refuted that the commercial relationship is unfavorable for the United States and has argued that freedom of expression in Brazil “is not confused with aggression or violent practices”.
“To any measure of unilateral tariff elevation will be responded to the light of the Brazilian law of economic reciprocity. Sovereignty, respect and intransigent defense of the interests of the Brazilian people are the values that guide our relationships with the world”, said the Brazilian president.
See under what they said on Wednesday evening (9/7) some authorities and analysts on the Trump measurement
Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), Senator
Before the Bolsonaro family to speak, the senator wrote in X that Lula “managed to screw Brazil”.
“After so many actions that cause the greatest democracy in the world, there is the result of the harassment of its ideological international policy,” wrote Flávio.
For the senator, the 50% rate of Trump “is the same” that Lula did with the Brazilians “, which can no longer pay so many taxes”.
Flávio, however, did not accredited Trump’s announcement to his brother’s performance, the deputy federal Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), who graduated in office and moved to the United States saying that he would have dedicated himself to convincing the Trump government to act by those who are involved in the attacks of January 8 in Brazil and to obtain penalties for the Minister of Stf De Moraes.
Eduardo Bolsonaro is currently intended for an investigation to the Supreme Court for coercion crimes, obstruction to investigations and violent abolition of the state of democratic law for his performance in the United States, accusations he refuses.
Ian Bremmer, political scientist
Eurasia, politician and American founder of risk consultancy, has analyzed in a place that “the United States intervene in the internal policy of Brazil while President Trump announces 50%of rates”, in part due to the insidious attacks by Brazil Bolsonaro. “

Flávio Dino, Minister Stf
Without mentioning the announcement of Trump directly, the Minister of Stf Flávio Dino made an assignment shortly after the publication of the letter of the American president to Lula.

Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), authorized federal deputy
In a letter sent to the journalist Guga Chacra, by Globonews signed together with Paulo Figueiredo, Bolsonaro’s son said that “in recent months we have held an intense dialogue with the presidents of the government of President Trump – always with the aim of carefully presenting the reality that Brazil lives today”.
“The letter of the President of the United States confirms only the success in the transmission of what we have presented seriousness and responsibility”.
The two argue that the Stf and Alexandre de Moraes collected “human rights violations against journalists, against citizens and residents of the United States” and have also advanced “for the greatest opposition leader, the former president Jair Bolsonaro, denying him minimal guarantees of legality, defense and presumption of innocence in the form of an almost gradual process in an exceptional court”.
The letter continues to say that the duo acted “trying to avoid the worst”, focusing on the application of sanctions to Moraes.
“However, President Trump recently understood correctly that Alexandre de Moraes can only act with the support of a political, commercial and institutional factory that deals with his authoritarian climbing. The President of the United States has understood that this factory also needs to bear the cost of this adventure.”
