Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Wednesday he expects U.S. counterpart Donald Trump to further cut tariffs on Brazilian products soon, following a phone call between the two leaders on Tuesday.

Trump last month removed additional tariffs on several Brazilian food products, including coffee and beef, that he had announced in July to punish Brazil over the prosecution of former right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro.

"We are close to hearing good news from the U.S.," Lula told TV channel Verdes Mares. He described his conversation with Trump as "extraordinary" and reiterated they agreed to cooperate in fighting organized crime.
