Estratégia of Donald Trump mixes military pressure and truce
President Donald Trump adopts a stance of calculated ambiguity regarding the confrontation. The American leader has publicly declared that he is in no rush to end hostilities against Iranian territory. Simultaneamente, the government authorized the extension of an indefinite ceasefire. The measure aims to create a window of opportunity for international negotiators to act.
Casa Branca also announced the extension of Lei Jones’s exemption for another 90 days.

Federal Projeto proposes fuel tax relief in Brasil
The Brazilian government articulates measures to shield the domestic economy from external shocks. A complementary bill was sent to Congresso Nacional with the aim of containing the rise in fuel prices. The text filed with Câmara of Deputados suggests the use of extraordinary oil revenues to finance tax cuts. The economic team seeks quick approval to implement the financial compensation mechanism.
The proposal establishes a direct relationship between increased revenue and reduced tax burden. Quando barrel prices soar on the international market, the financial surplus generated by royalties and special participations will be redirected. The resources will pay for the reduction in taxes such as PIS/Cofins and Cide. Gasoline, diesel, ethanol and biodiesel would be the products benefiting from state intervention.
The design of the government project foresees a strictly temporary nature for the proposed exemptions. The validity of the tax relief would be linked exclusively to the duration of the armed conflict in Oriente Médio. Parlamentares will evaluate the feasibility of the proposal on an urgent basis, given the economic and social relevance of the topic. The approval of the matter can mitigate the impact of imported inflation on the Brazilian consumer’s pocket, preserving purchasing power. The economic team argues that the measure does not compromise the country’s fiscal responsibility.
