I think the rest of the world is coming to that conclusion as well. How can you negotiate with a random number generator that carries no meaning and is not reliable?
Finally. I'm sick of all the politicians acting like you can negotiate with someone who changes their opinion every other day.
They should freeze this orange pedophile out of negotiations.
- Brazil is a whale, they can play the game
  Canada is not in such position so they got to play coy.
  Size matters
  
  It's more that Canada's geographical proximity to the USA has it more dependent on it. Brazil and other countries have other closer neighbours that would be more convenient to cooperate with than the USA.
Summary
50% US tariff on Brazilian goods taking effect on Wednesday
Lula tells Reuters no reciprocal tariffs pending from Brazil
Calls with BRICS leaders may lead to joint action on US tariffs
Bolsonaro should face new trial for courting tariffs, Lula says
Lula opens door to Trump meeting at U.N. General Assembly
- Why don't BRICS, especially China and EU just team up and form their own trade group away from the USA?
  
  The EU is being phenomenally stupid on China. It's going to be trying to go it alone.
  
  China and EU are both export-oriented economies. The US is the only major import-oriented one.
  
  It's informally happening like that anyway when they all have to adapt to less trade with US.
