Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva speaks with U.S. President Donald Trump by phone and urges renewed negotiations on American tariffs affecting Brazil, according to Brazil’s account.

The call is framed as part of efforts to manage relations with Washington as Brazil approaches its October election. Bloomberg reports Lula seeks a resumption of talks over the tariff issue, with the objective of reducing tensions ahead of the election period. Investing.com similarly reports that the leaders discuss tariffs during the call and that Brazil says the discussion includes the possibility of renewed dialogue.

Across the two outlets, the core points align: the communication takes place by phone, Lula raises the tariffs topic, and renewed negotiations are presented as a focus. The reports do not provide additional detail here on specific tariff measures, proposed timelines, or any concrete agreement reached during the conversation.
