Lula criticizes Trump and discusses trade and integration at UN General Assembly FAST-MOVING

While attending the 81st UN General Assembly in New York, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva engaged in several high-level meetings and made significant diplomatic statements. Lula met with Uruguayan President Yamandú Orsi to discuss Latin American integration, multilateralism, and regional cooperation through Mercosur and Celac. During their meeting, Orsi authorized Brazil to utilize Uruguay's surplus beef export quota to China for 2026.

Lula also met with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Senator Bernie Sanders. In discussions with Mamdani, they addressed social inequality, the high cost of living in New York, and the importance of prioritizing the poor in public policy. Mamdani noted that one in four New Yorkers lives in poverty.

Addressing trade tensions, Lula criticized U.S. President Donald Trump, describing his governing style as acting like an “emperor.” Lula stated that U.S. tariffs on Brazilian products were “based on lies” and warned that Brazil may apply the Law of Reciprocity if trade negotiations do not advance. He emphasized a preference for dialogue but maintained that Brazil would take necessary actions to defend its interests.
