Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva plans to tell U.S. President Donald Trump at the ASEAN summit that Trump’s 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods and sanctions on Brazilian officials, including a Supreme Court judge, are a mistake.

The measures were imposed following the sentencing of former President Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years in prison over a failed coup attempt after the 2022 election.
