Haddad stated that Lula would not be selected between our or China | The economy

Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said on Monday that the Brazilian United States and China will not be selected among the two largest economies in the world. “President Lula does not make this choice … we need to rethink our development. We cannot rely on a bilateral relationship” Haddad said in an interview UOL.

In the interview, the minister stressed that Brazil was not elected financial block.

“Brazil knows, for developing, for it, good trade agreements with Asia, good trade agreements with Europe and a good deal with the United States,” the Finance Minister said.

He said the conversation with US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant was very clear and polite, which would attack very sensitive issues. However, Haddad recalled that the Donald Trump government was in talks with Vice President and Development, Industry, Commerce and Services Minister Geraldo Alkmin.

Speaking about the arguments taken at the meeting with Bessent, Haddad repeatedly repeated South American deficiency in business relations with the United States.

“How do you rate the defective area? It does not make sense from the financial perspective. And when I say it himself, we will be in talks, we will sit at the table to negotiate,” the minister said. “From my point of view, the United States must look more generous in Latin America and South America. And Brazil, in my perspective, is doing the right approach,” said Haddad, even seeking a more strategic look to the continent.

The world’s largest economy emphasizes the agricultural holder, which is the largest regional balance and development in South America. Haddad recalled that China was the largest commercial partner of Brazil, but dominated the US cutting -edge technology by strengthening the Brazilian government in the trade war. In this way, the minister emphasized, the two partnerships to develop Brazil are basic.

President Lula believes in multilateral and emphasizes that the president has opened doors to negotiate abroad.

“He looks like a true democracy around the world. He was born from a fight against dictatorship, democratically won three elections, recognizing all the results when he lost, playing fair game throughout his life and had open doors around the world. Perhaps it is a few rulers who have open doors in the world.”

In the interview, the minister stressed that Brazil was in geographical political situation, if used well, would be suitable for the country.
