Brazil and US to meet 'immediately' to seek tariff solutions, Lula says

U.S. President Donald Trump and Brazil's leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva met on the sidelines of the Kuala Lumpur summit Sunday, and Trump signaled Monday that a trade deal is likely.
The U.S. imposed tariffs in July, including a 120% levy on Brazilian products, citing Brazil's policies and the criminal prosecution of Jair Bolsonaro as reasons.
Lula presented Trump a written document arguing tariff hikes were based on mistaken information and reminded him of the $6.8 billion U.S. surplus with Brazil last year.
Despite the upbeat tone, no immediate concessions were offered as Donald Trump, U.S. President, did not commit to suspending the tariff hikes and said aboard Air Force One, `We'll see what happens`.
Given Bolsonaro's recent conviction, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said Jair Bolsonaro received a fair trial and should not affect negotiations despite his about 27 years sentence.
