President Trump dismissed reporters’ questions as “boring” at the start of a meeting with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, but indicated he might lower the tariffs he has placed on his country.
Trump imposed the higher levies to put pressure on Brazil to show leniency to its former president Jair Bolsonaro, who has been sentenced to prison after being convicted of a coup attempt and was a vocal supporter of the U.S. president when he was in office.
“I think we should be able to make some good deals for both countries,” Trump said.
