Lula hits back Trump's 50% tariff with biggest oil find in decades? BP Strikes black gold in Brazil

BP just made its biggest oil discovery in 25 years—and it’s in Brazil, not the U.S. The Bumerangue field, hidden deep under 2,400 meters of water, could make Brazil a new global oil superpower. But Donald Trump isn’t cheering. He’s threatening Brazil with a 50% tariff, blindsided by a BRICS-powered shift in oil geopolitics. As BP gears up for a fossil fuel boom and Brazil flexes its muscle, will the U.S. strike back—or form an uneasy energy alliance?
