Lula Brands Proposed 25% US Tariffs ‘TariFlávio’ to Hit Bolsonaro Before October Vote

Hours after Washington proposed 25% tariffs on Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva moved to recast the threat as a campaign weapon against Flávio Bolsonaro.
Lula plans to label the measure “TariFlávio,” tying it directly to his top challenger after Flávio Bolsonaro met Donald Trump at the White House last week.
The framing turns a trade dispute into election politics, aiming to portray Bolsonaro as linked to a US action that could hurt Brazil ahead of the October presidential vote.
