Lula said that the post-World War II US acted as a symbol of democracy, stating that “American dreams are one of the most talked about American films,” and made a long rant of over four minutes. I've started.
“Dreams were in a country that gave everyone the opportunity, and it's a country that people should be proud of because there were so many opportunities there,” Lula said. “When it arrived, the US built a military base to look to the world. Wherever you go anywhere in the world, you can use American aircraft carriers as if you were caring for the world. I'll find it. That was the image we were in America.”
Lula argued that America's “dream” lived until “The Reard Day” until a new president came and “fundamentalized the discourse.” Without mentioning President Trump by name, Lula accused him of “destroying” the discourse of “1980 Washington Consensus, Reagan and Britain's Margaret Thatcher.”
Lula said:
The contract was to open borders, and the contract was to have no trade barriers. It was free trade and I had to buy everything, it was tax-free and there had to be obstacles. That was the logic of Washington's consensus. And Brazil accepted it.
The first thing we had to do was wipe out the auto parts industry in the country in the name of the world's cars that were being created. It almost destroyed our textile industry. And they destroyed the industry and acquired the industry. Someone bought them to close them down.
Lula has imposed tariffs on President Trump's “Americans for Americans” policy, including “everything imported,” and immigrants, including those who “built that great homeland” and American wealth. He claimed it involves chasing away. Lula further claimed that Latinos “go there to do a job that Americans no longer want to do.”
“And where is democracy? If you have a free movement of capital, where is the respect for the free movement of humans?” asked Lula. “Where is the highly preached free trade? And the world begins to be threatened. There is a threat every day. There is a threat every day. There is something every day.”
The Brazilian president continued by claiming that Brazil is a country of peace that everyone loves and wants “everyone likes us.” Lula said in Brazil he likes to “kiss” instead of “biting” but “we're not going to do anything crap.”
Lula continued to assert that the US belongs to the Americans, China to China, Chinese, Russia, Russia and India belong to the Indians, but Brazil belongs to the Brazilian people and they have It also emphasizes. To “respect for what we do here.”
“I'm not greater than anyone else, but I'm different than anyone else. I just want to be equal. I just want the right to hear. We We respect them, so we just want them the right to respect us,” Lula concluded.
The Brazilian President was very critical of President Trump. Recent Decided to collect 25% customs duties on steel imports. last week, Interview Lula, given to the Radio Club de Para, claimed that Brazil does not want friction with anyone and that there is no international conflict, but if “Trump behaves this way towards Brazil,” Lula claimed he would go back and forth between “behaving this way towards America.” The action that Trump takes.
Lula further argued that Brazil would either “react commercially” to steel tariffs or pose a problem for the World Trade Organization.
Two US deportation flights carrying Brazilian illegal immigrants took place in early February as part of the Trump administration's ongoing crackdown on illegal US immigrants. As of press time, the flight had deported 199 Brazilians.
In late January, Brazilian government officials accused the United States of using handcuffs and ankle restraints to engage in “deteriorating treatment” for deported migrants. Easy A deadlock between countries. According to Brazilian news outlet G1 had Brazilian deporters who arrived on the second flight removed their handcuffs and restraints before getting off the plane.
