Brazilian Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said on Tuesday that Presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Donald Trump are determined to “turn the page” on recent events, in a reference to the tariff dispute between Brazil and the United States (US).

In an interview with state-owned TV channel Canal Gov, Haddad said he believes Lula’s negotiating strategy with the US will yield the best result for Brazil and that the successful strategy will not change.

Lula and Trump held a call on Monday to discuss tariffs and agreed to meet in person soon.

The sooner the 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods are overcome, the better, he added, noting that ministerial-level discussions between the two countries are likely to take place before the leaders meet face to face.

“We may find time for another conversation with (US Treasury Secretary) Scott Bessent, but I don’t know if that will happen,” Haddad said.
