Lula: Trump’s tariffs could be “devastating” to world economy
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva once again expressed concern about the unilateral decision by the US to apply tariffs on products from all their trading partners around the world and pointed to the risk of a “devastating effect” on the world economy.
“We don’t know what the devastating effect of this will be on the economy. We need to know how much this is going to cost from the point of view of the price of products, the multilateral relationship,” he told Brazilian journalists on Wednesday (Apr. 9), after taking part in the Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac), in Tegucigalpa, capital of Honduras.

“Celac can contribute to restoring the credibility of the UN by electing the organization’s first woman Secretary-General,” said Lula. Brazil has suggested a special declaration on the subject to be considered during the event.
The Celac meeting is taking place amid heightened regional tensions, driven by the US government’s tightening of immigration policies under President Donald Trump and the tariff war launched by the White House.
"Freedom and self-determination become the first victims in a world devoid of multilaterally agreed rules. Immigrants are criminalized and subjected to inhumane deportations, while arbitrary tariffs destabilize the global economy and inflate prices," President Lula stated.
