Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Wednesday he could "not accept the treatment" Brazil had received from the United States this week, voicing surprise at a proposed tariff measure from Washington that he said came before trade talks had concluded.
Lula said Brazil still wanted to strengthen institutional ties with the US, but warned it could seek other trade partners after the Trump administration proposed a new punitive tariff of 25% on many imports from Brazil.
