SAO PAULO, April 3 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Thursday his government would take "all appropriate measures" to defend Brazilian firms and workers from the impact of fresh tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
"We defend multilateralism and free trade," he said at an event in Brasilia, adding that any measure would be based on a bill passed by Congress on Wednesday outlining the framework for trade reciprocity.
