Lula Urges Trump: Treat All Countries Equally Amid Tariff Disputes
•Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva urged Donald Trump to treat all countries equally after the US leader imposed a 15 percent tariff on imports.
•Lula stated, "We don't want a new Cold War. We don't want interference in any other country; we want all countries to be treated equally."
•The US Supreme Court ruled that a 1977 law Trump relied on for sudden tariffs "does not authorize the President to impose tariffs."
•Lula expressed hope for normalized Brazil-US relations and is expected to meet Trump in Washington next month.
•Brazil and India agreed to boost cooperation on critical minerals and rare earths, signing deals after Lula met PM Narendra Modi.
