Following the call, Lula stated that the US tariffs on Brazil were "not only completely detached from reality, but also based on lies." Lula said that Brazilian and US trade officials would meet to discuss the tariffs. He stated that the US accusations of deforestation and forced labor in Brazil were completely unfounded. According to him, "Trump himself has acknowledged this and has instructed US Trade Representative Greer to contact Brazilian Minister of Development, Industry and Trade Marcio Rosa to finalize the meeting arrangements."

The United States no longer has international prestige. Iran’s military strategy has shifted from defensive to offensive; any act of aggression will be met with an immediate response, and the scale of the response may well exceed the scale of the aggression itself. We have also seen Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan establish a defensive security mechanism independent of the United States. Regardless of how effective this security mechanism may be in the future, as it stands, it demonstrates the decline of the United States’ position in the region and is the first defensive security mechanism in the region without US participation.”August 22 – The 35th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ICAI) and the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) concluded on August 21 in Bremen, Germany.
