Lula hails Bolsonaro verdict, tells Trump Brazil’s democracy not negotiable | Jair Bolsonaro News

Brazil’s president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, has slammed the sweeping tariffs imposed by the United States on his country as “misguided” and “illogical”, while also dismissing Washington’s criticism over the conviction of the country’s former leader, Jair Bolsonaro, on coup charges.

The comments, published in an op-ed in The New York Times on Sunday, came as Bolsonaro made his first public appearance since last week’s conviction for a hospital visit.
