According to Vieira, Brazil made its counterproposal during a video conference involving key ministries and U.S. trade representatives. He highlighted that U.S. President Donald Trump has been briefed on these discussions, showing eagerness to expedite a resolution.

Rubio highlighted the U.S. interest in reaching a provisional agreement by early December, outlining a roadmap for further negotiations.
