Trump's imperialist war represents a tragedy for Brazil and Brazilians.

"Trump and his allies threaten Third World countries with colonial regression, imposing hard labor without rewards on the majority of the global population," says PML.

The impact of the Trump administration's imperialist measures on the economies of the world's peoples, particularly the less developed nations, cannot be ignored.

These operations must be denounced and combated as they are incompatible with acceptable and civilized coexistence between sovereign nations, and whose only practical consequence will be to deepen inequality between peoples and countries, to the benefit of the richest and most powerful.

In the case of Brazil, this is a typically imperialist attack, in which one side controls all the elements of the game and, in an arrogant gesture, tries to impose its will by any means.

Even before this measure was announced, trade in goods between the two countries already showed an advantage of US$7 billion per year in favor of the US, according to data from the US government itself, a situation that contradicts basic lessons about coexistence between unequal countries learned by human knowledge since the last century.

With no interest in offering real alternatives to the crisis of American capitalism itself, which would involve fundamental changes that the country's bigwigs have no interest in making, Trump and his allies threaten Brazil and other countries of the so-called Third World with a colonial regression, which reserves only hard work and no reward for most of the planet's peoples, as occurred in the most depressing periods of human history.

Any questions?
