247 - Senator Jaques Wagner (PT-BA) stated this Wednesday (9) that the decision announced by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to impose tariffs of 50% on Brazil is “authoritarian” and “unilateral”.  

According to the congressman, "the American president is confusing who he is addressing." "Brazil will not be anyone's backyard. We are the ones who decide our own lives. Let it be clear: Brazil belongs to Brazilians and not to lackeys!", the Workers' Party member wrote on social media.

"Respect Brazil. At the request of the Bolsonaro family, Donald Trump announces a 50% tax on all Brazilian products, in an authoritarian and unilateral manner," the senator added.
