NATO has no authority to apply any sanctions on Brazil for trade relations with Russia and the statements of the Secretary -General of the Union Mark Rutte on this issue is completely inappropriate. This was published in an interview with CNN Brazil by Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Viyira.
He emphasized that the North Atlantic Alliance is a military alliance that does not conclude trade agreements. The Minister recalled that Brazil was not included in NATO.
According to Viyira, Rutte's statements conflict with the current international trade order. Brazil, like other countries, resolves trade issues on the bilateral basis or within the framework of the World Trade Organization, “Therefore, such statements are not meaningful.”
The Brazilian President called for Trump not to consider himself the emperor of the world
On July 15, Rutte said that India, China and Brazil could be greatly affected by US potential secondary sanctions if they continue to trade with Russia. He noted that these three countries need to pay attention to what is happening, because the sanctions of US President Donald Trump can hit them a lot to them.
Earlier in China, they responded to NATO warning about trade to trade with the Russian Federation.
