Brazil's finance minister says US wants to interfere in internal matters

SAO PAULO, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Brazilian Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said on Thursday that the United States government wants to interfere in Brazil's internal matters, adding the next months will be decisive for tariff talks and for the US-Brazil relations.

"I believe there is a will from the U.S. government to interfere in internal matters, as they are doing," he said in an interview with RedeTV channel.

U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on many Brazilian goods to fight what he has called a "witch hunt" against his ally and former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial on charges of plotting a coup.
