Trump's threat of a 50% tariff on Brazil, aimed at pressuring judges against Bolsonaro, has led to unintended consequences. Instead of strengthening Bolsonarism, it has isolated Bolsonaro and sparked a national outcry against Trump, led by President Lula. Lula, facing his own popularity crisis, has embraced a nationalist stance while contemplating negotiations with the U.S., echoing strategies previously successful for progressives in other countries. The approaching Brazilian presidential elections add urgency to Lula's position as he seeks to secure a fourth term, despite Bolsonaro's disqualification from the race.
Trump's threat to impose a 50% tariff on Brazil has unexpectedly isolated Bolsonarism, instigating a national backlash led by President Lula against Trump's policies.
Lula's response to the tariff threat involves invoking a nationalist strategy to unify Brazilians and diminish the impact of Trump's punishment during his leadership crisis.
