00:00Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula del Silva said on Wednesday that Brazil remains open to negotiations with the United States
00:07but has yet to see a reciprocal willingness to engage.
00:11The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on a range of Brazilian products effective
00:17Wednesday, citing what it described as unfair trade practices by Brazil.
00:22Lula said there is no ban on negotiations with the U.S. but that Brazil will seek alternative markets for
00:28products it is unable to sell there.
00:30So Lula reaffirmed Brazil's commitment to dialogue, stressing that his government remains open to negotiations and will not be the
00:37party walking away from the negotiating table.
00:40He also urged businesses to focus on exploring new markets and opportunities, saying that dwelling on lost sales would not
00:47help generate new buyers.
