Lula, Macron Discuss Trade, Tariffs in Phone Call

Lula, Macron Discuss Trade, Tariffs in Phone Call

Brazilian President Lula and French President Macron had a phone call to discuss some important topics.

They talked about possible taxes, called tariffs, that the U.S. might put on Brazilian goods, with Lula not liking this idea.

They also discussed a trade deal between South American countries (like Brazil) and Europe.

This deal was agreed on before, but France has concerns about how it might affect its farmers.

Both leaders want to finish the trade agreement by the end of the year, with Macron saying he wants it to be good for everyone, while still protecting French and European farming.
