1. Trump’s imperialist government announced a 50 % tariff on Brazilian products. The White House supports the genocidal Bolsonaro, tries to interfere in the trial of the coup plotters in the Federal Supreme Court and defends the great technological ones. Trump behaves as king of the United States and emperor of the world, treating Latin America as his “backyard.” He supports the genocide in Gaza, Bombardó Iran and tries to control the Panama Canal, seeking to impose a “new world order.” Something that generates more global disorder.
2. It is necessary to repudiate in the streets this economic, commercial and political attack of the United States against Brazil. Protest against this imperialist movement that violates our national sovereignty and attacks our country, harming the working class and the popular sectors. Reject Trump’s support to the Bolsononian project and the coup attempt on July 8.
3-. The United States loots Brazil in several ways: through the mate of benefits of multinationals and, above all, through the payment of external and internal debt with bankers. Looting is also produced through trade. We export, mostly, primary or semi -industrialized products, such as crude oil, iron and semi -bass steel, coffee, beef, cast iron, wood chemical paste and aircraft. We import mainly engines and machines, fuels, aircraft and natural gas. In 2024, the United States had a surplus of 7000 million dollars in goods and 28.6 billion dollars adding goods and services. It is a parasitic relationship, which makes us lose a lot and pay in dollars. And Brazil could produce here engines, machines, fuels, aircraft, pharmaceutical products, with its industrial park and its own resources. But the Brazilian bourgeoisie, minor partner of imperialism and parasite, keeps the country submissive, profiting.
4. The Lula/Alckmin government summoned the representative of the US Embassy to obtain clarifications. President Lula affirms that he will respond through the “Brazilian law on economic reciprocity” and defends national sovereignty. The big problem is that the Government of Lula/Alckmin and the previous governments of the PT never had an independent and rupture policy with the multinationals, financial capital, external debt and the USA. UU. And now has invested in fruitless negotiations on tariffs with the White House. He opted for a capitalist “multilateralism, linked to imperialist powers such as China and Russia, which did not work. Russia and China did nothing to defend Iran, who is part of the BRICS, of the American bombers and continue to negotiate with Trump, despite the critical speeches. Trump has already imposed a 10 %tariff, but the order of Lula and Haddad was to “negotiate” to maintain the strategic project of the broad front of governing with and for the Brazilian bourgeoisie and multinationals. There are no possible negotiations with the extreme imperialist right.
5- We fight for the CUT, the CTB, the UNE and the MTST to convene a national day of struggles to demand the Government of Lula/Alckmin effective measures in defense of our sovereignty: a) the expulsion of the members of the US embassy. UU. Who collaborate with the coup plotters of July 8; the prohibition of sending the benefits of US multinationals and the taxation of their income; the rupture of relations with Israel; Without amnesty and punishment for all the coup plotters of the 8J; dismissal and prison by Eduardo Bolsonaro; b) the end of the fiscal framework, the ceiling of expenses and its absurd determinations that follow the economic logic of the IMF, the World Bank and the Real Plan; End of the autonomy of the Central Bank and nationalization of the financial system; non -payment of external and internal debt; c) Creation of a front of Latin American countries against debt and looting of our forests and minerals.
