Overview

  • Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira said Brazil will act with regional solidarity toward Venezuela and called for a peaceful, diplomatic resolution to tensions with the United States.
  • Vieira will travel to Canada for a G7 gathering and is set to meet U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on November 11 to advance talks on the roughly 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods.
  • Negotiations with Washington remain active through virtual technical meetings, though no concrete changes have been implemented to date.
  • President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva argues the U.S. tariffs should be suspended during the negotiating period to create space for progress.
