15:38Now PlayingWhy Lula Won’t Cow to Trump’s Tariff ‘Blackmail’
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelZoe Alexandra, editor at Peoples Dispatch, joins the show to discuss Brazil’s Supreme Court placing former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest, just days after Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian products and accused the government of persecuting him. Alexandra says the tariffs are about more than Bolsonaro, they’re an attempt to “undermine Brazil as a major player on the world stage and Lula’s commitment to building structures that don’t favor the US.” She explains how Lula is pushing back against Trump’s bullying while deepening BRICS ties, strengthening global solidarity with Palestine, and pushing forward efforts to hold once “untouchable” far-right leaders accountable for their crimes.
