Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva anticipates a resolution to trade tensions with the United States within days following a meeting with US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of an ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur. The dispute arose after the US imposed a 50% tariff on Brazilian exports in July, citing legal pressures against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. Lula expressed confidence that an agreement would be reached soon based on assurances from Trump. Both leaders signaled optimism about reaching a deal to avoid further punitive tariffs and ease tensions between their nations.
