Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday that recent "unilateral attacks" against his country's institutions and economy were unacceptable, in a stern rebuke of U.S. foreign policy. Lula's comments echoed his running criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump for imposing tariffs, visa restrictions and financial sanctions in response to the trial and conviction of Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro for plotting a coup after he lost the 2022 election. "Attacks on sovereignty, arbitrary sanctions and unilateral interventions are becoming the rule," Lula said, without naming Trump. "There is no justification for the unilateral and arbitrary measures against our institutions and our economy."
