Brazilian President Luiz Inácio da Silva has firmly stated that his country will not be regarded as a 'tinpot country' following the United States' recent designation of gangs as terrorists.
This announcement came after US Senator Marco Rubio met with Flávio Bolsonaro, a prominent figure in Brazilian politics, who is known for his far-right stance.
Lula's remarks highlight a broader concern regarding Brazil's national dignity and sovereignty in the context of foreign policy decisions made by the US.
