In the column, Amorim declared this Friday afternoon (12/12) that the decision of the President of the United States represents a “step in the right direction”. “An important step,” added the former chancellor.

When asked whether the Trump administration should revoke sanctions against other Brazilian authorities, Amorim resorted to an interpretation of a biblical passage that preaches living one day at a time.
“Each day is sufficient for your care and joy,” the former chancellor wrote, citing an adaptation of the Bible verse from “Matthew 6:34,” which says: “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day is sufficient for its evil.”
