Brazil faces 50 per cent of the Trump government’s high equivalent tariffs, but President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s support is unexpectedly rising for the first time this year, reaching 43 per cent. According to the latest poll published on 16 May, the government support rate rose to 43 per cent, up by 3 percentage points from the results of the May survey. At the same time, the government ' s lack of support fell from 57 per cent last month to 53 per cent. According to reports, Brazil’s reciprocal tariffs increased from 10 per cent in early April to 50 per cent, and Trump explained the high rates by accusing the Government of Lula of “War hunting” against the Trump allies and former President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro. Possonallo was accused of preparing a coup d’état after the defeat, in an attempt to prevent Lula from taking office in 2023, and the whole case is still under consideration.
Lula, 79 years old, suggests a possible re-election. Rula has taken a strong stance in this regard, not only stating that 50 per cent of the tariffs on United States goods will be counter-charged under the country's Economic Parity Act, but also emphasizing that the Bosono coup d'état case is handled by the Brazilian judicial system without interference or threat or instruction. The same poll also showed widespread dissatisfaction among the Brazilian population with Trump ' s approach, with 72 per cent of respondents arguing that the Trump Insonallo case had been the wrong decision to impose customs duties on Brazil and that only 19 per cent of the population supported the measure. The poll, which was commissioned by the Brazilian financial firm Genial, was carried out by the investigating agency Quaest from 10 to 14 July, visiting a total of 2004 eligible voters, with a margin of error of two percentage points, positive or negative. |
