Brazil’s president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, has dismissed criticism from the United States over the conviction of the country’s former leader, Jair Bolsonaro, on coup charges, and slammed Washington’s sweeping tariffs on Brazilian products as “misguided” and “illogical”.
The comments, published in an op-ed in The New York Times on Sunday, came as Bolsonaro, 70, made his first public appearance since last week’s conviction for a hospital visit.
