President Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented the Good Neighbor Policy, which sought to replace the use of force with diplomacy in #US #ForeignPolicy toward the region. That approach made a decisive contribution to the early stages of #Brazil’s industrialization. When confronting the 2008 financial crisis, President George W. Bush included 3 Latin American countries in the inaugural Group of 20 leaders’ summit.

For #Brazil, the only #war we need to wage in this part of the world is the war against #hunger, #poverty & #inequality. And the only weapons we should deploy are #investment, #technology transfer, & fair & balanced #trade.
Attempts to impose ideological constraints on the bilateral partnership, or to instrumentalize it for electoral purposes, will not stand. Never before has a #US secretary of #state declared that Brazil is not a friend of the US. No one will defeat us through #lies.
#Trump’s claims against #Brazil, attempting to justify #tariffs, are unfounded. #FreedomOfExpression is not a free pass for #criminal activity on #socialmedia platforms—we will not give up on protecting our families & children from the greed of a handful of #tech #oligarchs. Our payment system, PIX, does not discriminate against #US companies & is an international benchmark for digital public infrastructure.

The whole world knows that, starting in 2023, we began aggressively combating #environmental #crimes & drastically reducing #deforestation across all Brazilian biomes.
We respect the #sovereignty of other states & negotiate with all those who know how to respect ours. Reciprocity is the foundation of every relationship between nations, & we have the appropriate mechanisms to ensure it.

A year ago, I was taken aback by the publication, on a digital platform, of a letter from President Donald #Trump imposing a 50% #tariff on Brazilian goods. Its very first paragraph referred to former president #JairBolsonaro — who was #convicted last year for attempting a #coup d’état in #Brazil & is now under house arrest — making the political motivation behind the measure explicit.
#Lula #Brazil #law #InternationalLaw #trade #economy #sovereignty #ElectionInterference #coup #Jan6 #BigLie
In my conversations with President #Trump since then, I have stressed that we do not need to share the same worldview to pursue a mutually beneficial relationship between our countries. After all, we lead the two largest #democracies & economies in the #Americas.
#Lula #Brazil #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #trade #economy #ElectionInterference #coup #Jan6 #BigLie #JairBolsonaro
Negotiations between us, together with rulings by the #US #SupremeCourt, dismantled the initial version of the sweeping #tariff measures. Yet this month, disregarding dozens of meetings between our teams, solid technical arguments & documents I personally handed to #Trump, the US government imposed new #tariffs on #Brazil ranging from 12.5% to 37.5%.
#Lula #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #trade #economy #ElectionInterference #coup #Jan6 #BigLie #JairBolsonaro
As a result, Global Trade Alert, an independent organization based in Switzerland, estimates that #Brazil & #Turkey are now the second most heavily tariffed countries by the #UnitedStates, behind only #China. This is despite the #US surplus with Brazil in bilateral trade in goods & services, which has totaled $428 billion over 15 consecutive years.
#Lula #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #trade #economy #Trump #tariffs #ElectionInterference #coup #Jan6 #BigLie #JairBolsonaro
Besides being unfair, the new #tariffs are a strategic mistake: They will harm the #US #economy & the US partnership with #Brazil. Several US industrial sectors depend on Brazilian inputs. Food, footwear, textiles, furniture, auto parts & many other products will become more expensive for US #consumers.
#Lula #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #trade #Trump #ElectionInterference #coup #Jan6 #BigLie #JairBolsonaro
Brazilian exports to the #US have fallen to their lowest level since 1997. Comparing the first 6 months of 2025 & 2026, bilateral #trade with the US declined by 12.8%, while #Brazil’s trade with the #EU grew by 6.1% & its trade with #China increased by 15.9%.
In the medium term, these #tariffs will disrupt #SupplyChains that are currently deeply integrated, & Brazilian companies will replace their US suppliers with partners elsewhere.
…Dividing the world into #SpheresOfInfluence & pursuing #neocolonial ventures for strategic resources are anachronistic gestures & steps backward.
Despite the #US’ long history of political & military interventions in #LatinAmerica & the #Caribbean, there have been moments when Washington proved capable of being a partner worthy of our development interests.

Trump says #US will investigate #EU #trade practices for 'unethical' fines on #Google & #Apple
The US will open a formal investigation into the EU’s trade practices, Trump said on Friday, claiming the bloc has unfairly levied billions of dollars of fines against Google, Apple & other US #tech giants.

In a *lengthy* post on social media, #Trump said he has warned the #EU about its practice of fining #US #tech companies. He named #Google, #Apple, #Meta, #Amazon & others.
“The United States of America is not a ‘PIGGYBANK’ for Europe, nor will we allow it to be!,” Trump said, adding that his post should serve as notice of an immediate #trade investigation “into the practice of ‘ROBBING’ American Companies and, in turn, the American Taxpayer.”

WANTED TO BUY / TRADE
I’m also looking to buy 2 x 16GB #DDR4 2400 #SODIMMs for another laptop – I’d be happy to consider a trade for these if you have some laying around, so long as they’re in good condition. pls also DM me about those if you have some 👀

While the UK will wait until October 2028 to start charging a surcharge on imports under the current minimum import tax threshold (aimed at reducing the flow of cheap Chinese imports & alleviating some pressure on UK retailers), the EU will start a similar surcharge of €3 per parcel from tomorrow... which also reflects a view, now confirmed by research, that the majority of such imports fail to meet EU legal product standards.

The former #CEO of #Microsoft once described #Linux as a #cancer that was ruining Microsoft's #business. In the end, it's the other way around. Microsoft is the cancer that is infecting Linux and commercializing it without respecting the #philosophy of #free #software.
source: linuxiac.com/microsoft-opens-t…
Microsoft's #Azure #cloud runs on Linux #servers. Microsoft generates the majority of its #revenue through cloud #services. In other words, it makes use of free software—specifically, from the open-source community project—without contributing to or supporting it in a meaningful way. On the contrary, Microsoft has been fighting the spread of Linux on the #desktop with #Windows from the very beginning. However, the company has learned how to profitably market free software. Unfortunately, this is a sign that die-hard capitalists are incapable of learning. Their greed for profit blinds them to the common good. Since Windows now accounts for only about 5% of Microsoft’s business model, it is used solely to keep customers within the Microsoft ecosystem and sell them cloud services. Meanwhile, Windows 11 is getting worse and worse, partly due to the use of AI.
The only company worse than that is #Nvidia, which also uses Linux but nevertheless actively prevents the development of decent open-source drivers for Nvidia #hardware. So while the #company understands the benefits of Linux, it still actively resists contributing to this #collaborative #project.
Capitalism in its final stages—and, unfortunately, one of the reasons why humanity is heading so rapidly toward the #collapse of #civilization.

“Sulphuric acid is a crucial ingredient in the manufacture of batteries, clothing and phosphate fertilisers, and is also used to treat drinking water, purify petroleum and produce some metals and computer chips.
#China is a key exporter, but it relies on imported #sulphur — itself a by-product of oil refining and smelting — to make it.
In 2025, about half of the global sulphur supply came from the Middle East.
With trade disrupted, Beijing has banned exports of #SulphuricAcid to shore up its domestic #supply.”

The #US #trade court on Thurs ruled against #Trump's latest 10% global #tariffs, finding across-the-board tariffs were not justified under a 1970s trade #law.
The US Court of International Trade [#CIT] ruled in favor of #SmallBusinesses that challenged the tariffs, which took effect on February 24. The ruling was 2-1, with one judge saying it was premature to grant victory to the small business plaintiffs.

Vietnam has long described the private sector as central to national development. What is changing now is that support is becoming more concrete. A new wave of incentives shows Hanoi trying to reduce friction for domestic firms while turning private enterprise into a more active instrument of growth, innovation, and industrial upgrading.

I don't believe the administration is being sincere when it decries international trade imbalances. There are some simple, obvious actions it could be taking right at home that would be wildly popular yet do not seem to merit mention.
