Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has called on US President Donald Trump to reconsider proposed trade tariffs and engage in dialogue with Brazil while also saying that the country's 'critical minerals' were not up for grabs, in Rio de Janeiro on Monday. "So then I find out that the United States is going to help Ukraine, but they want to have privileges over Ukraine’s critical minerals. The other day, I read an article saying that the United States is interested in Brazil’s critical minerals. Well, if I don’t even know that mineral, it’s already critical. I’m going to take it for myself. Why would I let someone else take it," Lula said. Commenting on Trump's tariff threats, Lula called for dialogue. Watch.
