‘We don't want an emperor': Lula pushes back against Trump's tariff move
Speaking at the close of a two-day summit that brought together 11 countries, a group that spans both allies and rivals of the United States, Lula made it clear that the bloc would not be intimidated by protectionist rhetoric coming from Washington.
'We are sovereign nations,' he said. 'We don't want an emperor.'
The comment came in response to Trump's recent announcement of a 10 percent across-the-board tariff increase on BRICS members, accusing them of pursuing what he described as 'anti-American policies.'

Trump promises big Russia reveal—Kremlin watches closely
ALBAWABA - U.S. President Donald Trump has stated he will make a 'major announcement' regarding Russia on Monday, a declaration that has caught the attention of the Kremlin amid mounting uncertainty surrounding efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war. The Russian presidency confirmed it is closely monitoring Trump's comments. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticized the continued U.S. supply of weapons to Ukraine through NATO, labeling it a "commercial operation" that ultimately sustains the conflict. Peskov also accused European nations of pushing Ukraine to prolong the war "until the last Ukrainian," adding that Moscow is closely tracking the nuances in Trump's rhetoric. Meanwhile, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov voiced skepticism about improving U.S.-Russia ties, describing the Trump administration's approach as inconsistent. Trump, speaking in a Thursday interview with NBC, did not reveal the content of Monday's statement but said he is frustrated with Russia. The announcement comes as the Russia-Ukraine conflict escalates and diplomatic negotiations stall. While campaigning, Trump pledged to end the war within 24 hours if re-elected—a promise he has not yet fulfilled. Experts suggest he may now choose between arming Ukraine via NATO, imposing stricter sanctions on Moscow, withdrawing U.S. involvement, or pursuing new diplomatic channels. Trump to make 'major statement' on Russia on Monday, eyes sanctions - report @seekingalpha — Mike Zaccardi, CFA, CMT 🍖 (@MikeZaccardi) July 11, 2025 Trump also revealed that the U.S. will sell weapons, including Patriot missiles, to NATO for delivery to Ukraine, an arrangement discussed during the June NATO summit in The Hague. Earlier this month, his administration briefly paused arms shipments before reversing course. On Capitol Hill, Trump is reviewing a proposed bill by Senator Lindsey Graham that would levy new sanctions on countries purchasing Russian energy products, including oil and uranium. Diplomatic signals remain mixed. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during the ASEAN summit in Kuala Lumpur. Rubio confirmed the exchange of 'new ideas' to end the war, calling it a "different and fresh approach," though he provided no further details.

Why is Trump lashing out at Brazil?
US President Donald Trump has announced a 50 percent tariff on Brazilian imports as he accused the country's leftist leadership of orchestrating a "witch hunt" against his right-wing ally, former leader Jair Bolsonaro. In a letter Wednesday to counterpart Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Trump insisted that Bolsonaro's trial -- for allegedly plotting a coup to hold on to power after 2022 elections he lost -- "should not be taking place." Trump has historically reserved his tariff ire for countries with which the United States runs a negative trade balance. Brazil is not one. Analysts say ideological considerations, not economics, are behind the US president's actions in defense of Bolsonaro, dubbed the "Trump of the Tropics." Firm friends "Brazil came up on Trump's radar now because Bolsonaro's trial is advancing and there are Republican lawmakers who brought the issue to the White House," Leonardo Paz, a political scientist at Brazil's Getulio Vargas Foundation, told AFP. Eduardo Bolsonaro, the former president's son and a Brazilian congressman, recently moved to the United States where he lobbies for pressure on Brasilia and the judges presiding over his father's coup trial. Lula blames Bolsonaro's son for troubling the bilateral waters, and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has ordered an investigation into whether the US-based campaign constitutes obstruction of justice. Moraes is an arch foe of Bolsonaro, who has labeled the justice a "dictator." US Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke in May of a "great possibility" of sanctions against Moraes, who has clashed repeatedly with rightwingers and former Trump ally Elon Musk in a quest to stamp out online disinformation. Bolsonaro calls Trump a "friend" and says they are both victims of "persecution." 'Non-economic reasons' In his missive to Lula, Trump complained of "a very unfair trade relationship" with Brazil. But official Brazilian figures show a near two-decade sustained surplus in favor of the United States. Last year, it was almost $284 million. The United States is Brazil's third-largest trading partner after China and the European Union. It imports mainly crude oil and semi-finished iron and steel products from the South American powerhouse. Brazil in turn primarily imports non-electric engines and machines, and fuel from up north. In a sign of Brazilian business jitters, the Sao Paulo Federation of Industries called Thursday for a "calm" response to the "non-economic reasons" for Trump's tariffs. Lula has said Brazil would be willing to reciprocate, in spite of Trump's warning of further escalation if it did so. Free speech tussle Trump also complained of Brazilian "attacks" on free speech and "hundreds of SECRET and UNLAWFUL censorship orders to US media platforms" issued by Brazil's Supreme Court. Last month, the court toughened social media regulation, upping the accountability of platforms for user content in a groundbreaking case for Latin America on the spread of fake news and hate speech. Last year, Moraes blocked Musk's X platform for 40 days for failing to comply with a series of court orders against online disinformation. He had also ordered the suspension in Brazil of Rumble, a video-sharing platform popular with conservative and far-right voices -- including Trump's son Don Jr. -- over its refusal to block a user accused of spreading disinformation. Detractors accuse the judge of running a campaign to stifle free speech. BRICS brawl "It didn't help that the BRICS summit was held in Brazil at a time a narrative exists in the United States portraying the bloc as anti-Western," said Paz. Meeting in Rio de Janeiro, the group on Sunday spoke out against Trump's "indiscriminate" tariff hikes, prompting the president to threaten further trade penalties. Members China, Russia and India refrained from hitting back, but Lula took it upon himself to defend the "sovereign" nature of BRICS governments, insisting: "We don't want an emperor." Behind the scenes, Brasilia has been negotiating with Washington for months to try and avoid the worst of Trump's tariff war. A member of Lula's entourage told AFP that Trump's attack on Brazil was partly inspired by "discomfort caused by the strength of the BRICS," whose members account for about half the world's population and 40 percent of global economic output.

Russia, US hold 'frank' talks on Ukraine war
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US top diplomat Marco Rubio held "frank" talks on the Ukraine war during a meeting Thursday, both sides said, as Washington hit out at Moscow's lack of "flexibility". The US secretary of state said Lavrov shared new ideas on resolving the conflict which he promised to present to US President Donald Trump, but played down the prospect of a breakthrough. The pair met hours after Moscow pummeled Kyiv for a second straight night and as the United Nations said the number of victims from Russian attacks was at its highest level in three years. Trump, who forced the warring countries to open negotiations for the first time in three years, this week accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of talking "bullshit" on Ukraine. The US leader's efforts to secure a ceasefire have failed to extract any concessions from the Kremlin, despite multiple calls with Putin. Rubio told reporters Lavrov had floated something "new" on the conflict, but did not give details. "It's not a new approach. It's a new idea or a new concept that I'll take back to the president to discuss," he said. He added that it was not something that "automatically leads to peace, but it could potentially open the door to a path." The US diplomat said he had also conveyed Trump's anger, criticising Moscow's lack of "flexibility". Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the United States would deliver more weapons to Kyiv and that he had "specific dates" on when they would arrive. 'Large defense package' Zelensky said in an X post that Ukraine was "ready" for different approaches to "scale up protection", including by "purchasing a large defense package from the United States, jointly with Europe". Trump seemed to back up such an agreement. In an interview with American broadcaster NBC late on Thursday, he said NATO was "paying" the United States for weapons to send to Ukraine. "We're sending weapons to NATO, and NATO is paying for those weapons, 100%... And then NATO is going to be giving those weapons (to Ukraine)," Trump said. Trump also said he would make a "major statement... on Russia" on Monday. NATO secretary general Mark Rutte said he had spoken with Trump and was "working closely with allies to get Ukraine the help they need". The leaders of Britain and France meanwhile announced they had prepared plans for a peacekeeping force to be deployed to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire. Ukraine said that two people -- a 22-year-old policewoman on duty at a metro station and a 68-year-old woman -- were killed in the latest assault on the capital. As Rubio and Lavrov met in Kuala Lumpur, Zelensky was at a conference in Rome, where he called for more international political and military support. Zelensky said Putin wanted "our people to suffer, to flee Ukraine and for homes, schools, for life itself to be destroyed", urging Western leaders to boost defence investments. 'Terror' The Kremlin denied peace talks were stalled and said it was still open to contacts. Moscow has for months refused a ceasefire and two rounds of talks with Ukraine have produced no breakthrough. The Ukrainian air force said Russia launched 415 drones and missiles at the country while Zelensky urged allies to quickly roll out fresh sanctions against Moscow. The fresh onslaught came just one night after Russia fired a record 741 long-range drones and missiles. Officials said the nighttime attack on Kyiv also wounded 22 people. Russia's defence ministry said the strike targeted "military-industrial enterprises" in Kyiv as well as airbases. The UN announced that attacks on Ukrainian cities in June had led to a three-year high in the number of civilians killed or wounded. It said it had verified at least 232 people killed and 1,343 wounded during the month -- the highest combined toll since April 2022.
