"At 9:23 a.m. on Nov. 9.[2022], 10 days after Mr. #Bolsonaro’s defeat, a document, later found on a cellphone seized by investigators, was created at the presidential offices. It sketched out an extreme plan calling for the “extinction of the winning ticket.”

President Luiz Inácio #Lula da Silva of #Brazil is outraged.

#Trump is trying to push around his nation of 200 million, dangling 50% #tariffs as a #threat, Lula said in an interview. And yet, he added, the #US president is ignoring his government’s offers to talk.

“Be sure that we are treating this with the utmost seriousness. But seriousness does not require #subservience,” Lula said. “I treat everyone with great respect. But I want to be treated with #respect.”

#Lula granted his first interview to The NYT in 13 years on Tuesday, in part because he wanted to speak to the American people about his frustration with #Trump [we totally get it].

Trump has said that, starting on Friday, he plans to impose 50% #tariffs on Brazilian goods, in large part because Brazilian authorities have charged former President Jair #Bolsonaro with trying to hold on to #power after losing the 2022 election. [inspired by Trump 2020]
