Lula thanks China for beef win and tells US after tariffs: ‘I will sell to someone else’
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva thanked China for clearing the country’s beef of foot-and-mouth disease and fired a barb at US President Donald Trump, saying “I will sell to someone else”, after Washington announced new tariffs on Brazilian goods. Lula made the remarks on Tuesday, hours after Beijing announced wider access for Brazilian beef to the world’s biggest market for the product. “As God writes straight with crooked lines, nothing comes free for a Christ
The president also branded Rubio a ‘frustrated Latino’ and vowed Brazil would ‘not be treated as an insignificant little republic’ by the US
“As God writes straight with crooked lines, nothing comes free for a Christian man like me. What happened to counter Trump’s measure? China accepted that Brazil is nationally free of foot-and-mouth disease,” Lula said.
“I’m not going to cry [because of US’ decision]. If you do not want to buy from me, you can keep your things and I will sell to someone else,” he said, in a reference to Washington.
China’s General Administration of Customs and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced the decision on Tuesday during a visit to Beijing by Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira.
