Lula Blames Flávio Bolsonaro for US Tariffs, Calls Him an Idiot

Brazilian President Lula criticized a proposed new US tariff, calling Flávio Bolsonaro an "idiot" and a "traitor to the homeland" and linking him to the measure. Flávio Bolsonaro responded that the tariff "is Lula's" and called for a united right to "take Brazil out of the dirty hands of the PT." Lula's government sees the US tariff proposal as baseless and believes sanctions could have been worse. Lula also signaled openness to China in response to the tariff, and in an electoral tone said he had agreed on a deadline with Trump for an agreement. Flávio Bolsonaro filed a complaint with the Supreme Federal Court (STF) against Lula for incitement to crime.
