00:00Brazil's President Lula da Silva assures that the country will respond

00:04reciprocally if the U.S. imposes tariffs against Brazilian imports. In the face of

00:09Trump's threats, the Brazilian head of state also indicated that he seeks to

00:13establish a practical relationship with his U.S. counterparts, especially on

00:18environmental issues. In addition, he recalled Colombia's diplomatic situation

00:22with Washington after refusing to receive deportations, which caused

00:26tensions between both governments. However, the White House announced that

00:30it would pause the imposition of the additional tariffs to other nations

00:34announced by Trump.

00:42It is very simple. If he imposes tariffs on Brazilian products, there will be

00:47reciprocity from Brazil. We will impose tariffs on products exported from the

00:52United States. It's simple. There is no problem.
