Montage shows Brazilian and US flags holding hands Government of Brazil The government of Brazil published on social media an image in which the Brazilian flag appears hand in hand with that of the United States. The publication, made this Monday (20), claims to celebrate Friendship Day. ? Follow the g1 international news channel on WhatsApp The post was published amid tariffs imposed by the United States on Brazilian products. Last week, the North American government announced an additional 25% tariff on exports from Brazil. When announcing the measure, the US claimed that Brazil adopts practices that "encumber or restrict" North American trade. Examples cited by the US government include PIX, access to the ethanol market, illegal deforestation and piracy. In this Monday's publication, six flags appear forming a circle: Brazil, United States, India, China, European Union and Argentina. The Brazilian and North American flags are side by side, hand in hand. The caption states that the flags represent Brazil's main trading partners. At the same time, there is an indirect one about diplomacy and sovereignty. "On this July 20th, Friendship Day, it is worth highlighting the relevance of dialogue and cooperation between nations", says the publication. "Continuous international collaboration acts as a mechanism to mitigate global crises, expand markets and promote coordinated economic growth between countries, without offending the diplomacy and sovereignty of each nation."
