New Delhi, July 10 -- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Wednesday vowed to address the import tariffs imposed by Donald Trump with reciprocity under the the country's economic reciprocity law.

President Lula's public statement on X comes hours after Trump imposed a 50 per cent tariff on Brazilian imports following a spat with his Brazilian counterpart, accusing the country of launching a 'witch hunt' against former President Jair Bolsonaro.

"Any unilateral tariff increases will be addressed in accordance with Brazil's Economic Reciprocity Law," Lula said in his post on X.
