🇧🇷🤡💥🌐 — The President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), mocked the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and downplayed her leadership role within the organization.

➡️ In his account of a meeting with the IMF's Managing Director, Kristalina Georgieva, in May 2023, the leftist leader used a term widely considered sexist to refer to the Bulgarian economist. The president referred to Georgieva in a dismissive tone, calling her a “little woman,” while recalling what she allegedly said about Brazil’s growth prospects.

💬 “I met with a little woman, you know, the president of the IMF, the managing director of the IMF, she didn’t even know me. ‘President Lula, President Lula, you know things are tough for Brazil, Brazil is only going to grow 0.8%,’” he recounted, mimicking Georgieva’s voice and facial expressions. Lula then continued his story, pointing out that, by the end of 2023, Brazil had outperformed expectations and grew by 3.2%.

🇺🇸1️⃣2️⃣5️⃣🔣💲❗️❌🇨🇳 — 🇺🇸 President of United States Donald J. Trump on 🌐

"Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
