Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, a leftist, is one of the few world leaders willing to openly defy Donald Trump. Lula refused to cave when Trump threatened 50 percent tariffs to intimidate Brazilian authorities, who are charging Trump’s right-wing ally, former president Jair Bolsonaro, for attempting to stay in office after losing the 2022 election.
“The democratic state of law for us is a sacred thing,” Lula told The New York Times. “Because we have already lived through dictatorships, and we don’t want any more.”
