Trump also tweeted after the conversation, saying the pair discussed "many subjects including Trade."

"The relationship between the United States and Brazil has never been Stronger," he added, but did not specifically mention his previously threatened tariffs.

Trump said earlier this month that the U.S. would resume tariffs on steel and aluminum from Brazil and Argentina.

He said in a tweet that they were "effective immediately" although National Economic Council director Larry Kudlow has said the administration had not arrived at a final decision.

The administration previously imposed tariffs last year, but had made deals with countries including Brazil and Argentina to halt the tariffs.

The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment on Bolsonaro's post.
