Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Tuesday his country would use all available resources, including the World Trade Organisation, to defend its interests as the US prepares to impose tariffs on Brazilian goods.

Lula told an event in Brasilia he would not call US President Donald Trump because his counterpart did not want to talk, and referred to the day the tariffs were imposed as “the most regrettable” in the two countries' relationship.
