Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday that recent "unilateral attacks" against his country's institutions, economy and judiciary were unacceptable, in a thinly veiled response to U.S. foreign policy.

Lula's comments echoed his running criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump for imposing tariffs, visa restrictions and financial sanctions in response to the trial and conviction of Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro for plotting a coup after he lost the 2022 election.
