Brazilian demonstrators rally against Trump and urge taxing the rich

Organised by unions and leftist groups, the protest criticised what participants described as an “anti-people Congress” and voiced support for Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Lula has warned he will impose retaliatory tariffs if the US president follows through on a pledge to raise import taxes by 50%.

Protesters also targeted São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, an avid Trump supporter, and carried signs defending Brazil’s sovereignty.
