Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, after a phone call (telefonema) with U.S. President Donald Trump, may have a new conversation with the U.S. Treasury Secretary. Following this call, the next step is a meeting between Brazil's Foreign Minister Ernesto Araújo and U.S. Senator Marco Rubio. Bolsonaristas are divided in their response to the phone call, with some choosing to ignore it and others suggesting that Lula fell into a trap set by Trump. The international press has described the phone call as 'friendly'. The American Chamber of Commerce in Brazil (Amcham) views the phone call as a step towards reducing the impacts of the steel and aluminum tariffs.
