According to a public opinion survey, Brazilian President Lula's approval rating surpassed the disapproval rating for the first time in nine months, and the current dispute between Brazil and the US is getting worse. At the beginning of July, US President Trump said he would levy a 50% tariff on Brazilian exports on the grounds that Brazilian President Lula's right-wing rival and former President Bossonaro was “politically persecuted.” The Lula administration fought back, calling Trump an unpopular “emperor” and calling the sanctions “unacceptable.” According to an AtlasIntel/Bloomberg poll, Lula's approval rating is 50.2%, up from 49.7% two weeks ago. This is also the first time since October last year that Lula's approval rating has surpassed the disapproval rating.
