Recently, A Fire Broke Out In The Backyard Of The United States. Lula Said The Most Harsh Words!

For the past few days, I’ve been talking about this "argument" between the two, and it only seems to be getting worse. Yesterday, in an interview with the press, Brazilian President Lula made two statements that were particularly bold.

The first one was: "Brazil has no obligation to continue using the U.S. dollar in trade." This is essentially a declaration that Brazil could abandon the dollar! If former President Trump heard this, he'd likely be furious, as this is precisely the scenario he dreads: countries moving away from the dollar and challenging its global dominance.
The second statement was: "Even without trade with the U.S., Brazil could survive. We have other trade partners who can easily replace them."
What do these bold remarks mean? They are a direct challenge to the U.S., warning America that if it continues to act as though it can bully anyone at will, the rest of the world might just start standing in opposition.
Lula, known for his strategic thinking, typically knows how to push the boundaries without completely crossing the line. While he occasionally makes moves that upset the U.S., he’s usually careful to maintain a balance since Brazil is located in the Americas and historically, has been cautious not to overstep.
So why did Lula suddenly lash out at the U.S. with such strong words?
