Trump soon after sharing a positive conversation with Lula on his Truth Social platform.
Trump said, “We discussed a lot, but it was primarily focused on the economy and trade between our two countries.”
He added that the leaders “will be having further discussions, and will come together in the near future, both in Brazil and the United States.”
In addition to a 10 percent tariff on earlier products, the Trump administration had already imposed a 40 percent tariff on Brazilian goods in July. According to the Brazilian leader’s office, Lula reminded Trump that Brazil was one of three Group of 20 (G20) nations that the US still had a trade surplus with.
The Trump administration argued that Brazil’s policies and former president Jair Bolsonaro’s criminal prosecution constitute an economic emergency, and that this is how the tariffs were justified.
A panel of the Supreme Court handed Bolsonaro a 27-year and three-month prison sentence earlier this month after he was found guilty of trying to run for president after losing his 2022 re-election campaign.
Trump and Lula had a brief conversation on the UN General Assembly’s New York sidelines in September, where they both praised their “excellent chemistry.”

Another shocked fan wrote: “Aww look how grown up Matilda is,” and another user posted: “Oh my goodness @hjgflanagan. Matilda is all grown up xx Very like her beautiful Mom. Super talented young lady.”
It comes after Helen broke down in tears over the difficulties of co-parenting. After attending Manchester Pride, she dropped off her kids with ex-fiancé Scott. As the former couple are co-parenting, the kids spend some of their holidays with the footballer but Helen isn’t the biggest fan of the set up.
Helen acknowledged that she struggled “absolutely.” I find it difficult when they disappear, and I only enjoy them disappearing when I do something. I’m currently experiencing a lot of anxiety.
The Coronation Street star said, “I just f**king hate co-parenting,” before admitting that she didn’t want her kids to move on. I’m really struggling, …
I really struggle when they disappear, she says. They should not leave, I don’t like it. If I’m doing something, I only like them leaving. Simply put, it’s very difficult. It’s just really difficult, especially when you’re struggling and it’s just really difficult.
She continued, “Your babies, you can’t speak the same when they leave.” Because I’m always with the kids, I had a lot of anxiety recently, so I haven’t had a minute. This may help me some. It has two sides…
“When they leave, I want them back, and when I’m with them constantly, I get really depressed before f**king.” It makes me feel like I can’t drink [hands]… Yesterday, I didn’t drink that much.
I never drink a lot, and I always stick to tequilas. Although I’m not going to stop crying right now, I do believe it’s worthwhile to cry just to get it out.

The appointment of Bishop Sarah Mullally as Canterbury’s new archbishop has been criticized by the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion).
The Anglican Communion’s announcement of her emergence was described as a “devastating” development that “ignores the current situation and challenges being faced.”
Read more about Sarah Mullally’s appointment as the first woman to lead the Church of England.
Sarah Mullally will be the next Canterbury Archbishop, according to a NBC photo.
The announcement of Bishop Sarah Mullally as the next Archbishop of Canterbury on Friday, October 3rd, 2025 is devastating and ignores the difficulties and current state of the Anglican Communion.
It is a “double jeopardy,” first of all because the majority of Anglicans are unable to support female episcopate leadership, and second, because Bishop Sarah Mullally is a strong supporter of same-sex unions, as demonstrated in her speech in 2023, when she described the outcome as a “moment of hope for the Church.
Anglican World Wide
The election of Mullally was also seen as confirmation that the Church of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury could no longer accept one another as their leaders, according to the statement.
The Church of Nigeria, on the part of the GAFCON family, affirms unwaveringly that, despite the ongoing revisionist agenda, the Church of Nigeria “has built His church and”the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18).
Mullally’s appointment
Mullally was recently given the title of new Archbishop of Canterbury, making her the first woman to lead the Church of England, which has roots in the world’s Anglican community and the Roman empire.
King Charles III, according to the UK government, gave her a recommendation from a committee tasked with finding a successor to Justin Welby, who resigned earlier this year over an abuse scandal.
The birthplace of global Anglicanism is the Church of England.
Illinois has become the latest US state to launch legal action in hopes of blocking United States President Donald Trump from deploying the National Guard.
The lawsuit filed on Monday by Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and officials from the city of Chicago came just hours after a federal judge in Oregon temporarily blocked Trump from sending the National Guard to the state’s largest city, Portland. The White House has said that it is appealing that decision.

Trump has sought to expand the use of the US military during his second term, including to aid in domestic immigration and law enforcement. That has come amid a wider effort to portray Democrat-run cities as violence-ridden and lawless.
In a post on X, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker decried Trump’s latest plan, which would involve federalising 300 of the state’s National Guard troops and deploying another 400 from Texas, as “unlawful and unconstitutional”.
Attorney General Raoul said US citizens “should not live under the threat of occupation by the United States military, particularly for the reason that their city or state leadership has fallen out of a president’s favor”.
Since taking office in January, Trump has already deployed National Guard troops to Los Angeles in the state of California and the federal district of Washington, DC, and has floated sending troops to at least eight other major cities.
In September, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration “wilfully” broke federal law by deploying guard troops to Los Angeles amid protests over immigration raids.
In the Oregon case, Judge Karin Immergut temporarily blocked Trump’s plan to deploy 200 National Guard troops from neighbouring California, saying anti-immigration enforcement protests there “did not pose a danger of rebellion”.
Immergut also chided the Trump administration for appearing to disregard an order she had issued just a day earlier.
“Aren’t defendants simply circumventing my order”? she asked on Sunday. “Why is this appropriate”?
Under US law, the US military cannot be used for domestic law enforcement unless the president deems the situation an insurrection and invokes the Insurrection Act. However, the National Guard can be used in a support capacity for federal law enforcement agents in some instances.
Despite the legal setbacks, Trump has remained defiant.
Trump referred to “civil disturbances” as the “enemy within” in a statement to US military commanders last week. He added that he would “one by one” straighten out US cities.
Trump said, “We should use some of these dangerous cities as our military’s training facilities,” in a statement that was particularly remarkable.
The Trump administration has sent more federal immigration and law enforcement agents to cities across the nation than just the National Guard.
Protesters have frequently gathered outside of Chicago’s immigration center, where 13 people were taken into custody on Friday.
Federal agents shot a woman in the southwest of Chicago, according to the Department of Homeland Security on Saturday.
Uefa president Alexander Ceferin says the “regrettable” decision to allow two European league matches to be played abroad is “exceptional” and insists it “will not set a precedent”.
La Liga clubs Villarreal and Barcelona are now set to face each other in Miami in December in what would be the first European league fixture to be played abroad.
Then in February, AC Milan’s Italian Serie A match against Como will be played in Perth, Australia.
Uefa, European football’s governing body, has stressed its “clear opposition” to the plans, but “reluctantly” approved them because there is no legal framework to stop it.
“League matches should be played on home soil, anything else would disenfranchise loyal match-going fans and potentially introduce distortive elements in competitions”, said Ceferin.
“Our consultation confirmed the breadth of these concerns. I would like to thank the 55 national associations for their constructive and responsible engagement on such a sensitive issue.
Fans ‘ group Football Supporters Europe (FSE) says the decision to play the two games abroad could inflict” long-lasting harm “on the sport, and wants tougher rules to prevent it happening again in the future.
” FSE will continue to stand firmly with fans in Spain and Italy in resisting these damaging proposals, “it said.
” Together with our members in these countries, we are looking into every possible option to counter these plans.
“By forcing through these matches, La Liga and Serie A risk undermining their own history and long-term success while inflicting long-lasting harm to football in Europe – and beyond.
Uefa says it consulted stakeholders and found” widespread lack of support “for league matches to be played abroad, echoing concerns raised by fans, other leagues, clubs, players and European institutions.
But it said world governing body Fifa’s regulatory framework is” not clear and detailed enough “for it to block the plans.
Last year, Fifa established a working group to examine the effects of playing intense domestic matches abroad.
La Liga stated last year that it wanted to watch Barcelona face Atletico Madrid in Miami, but decided against it due to time constraints.
Barcelona also intended to play a league game against Girona in Miami in 2019, but the idea was voided due to opposition from the Spanish football association and its players’ union.
In recent years, there have been other one-off matches held abroad, such as the Italian Super Cup and the Spanish Super Cup.
Premier League Chairman Richard Masters stated in August that no top-flight matches for England would be played abroad.
