Temer, speaking with a small group of foreign journalists at an investment forum in Sao Paulo, also said that concessions made to the striking truckers to lower diesel prices would not undo reforms made to state-led oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA to lessen government intervention.

The president added that his government would go to the Supreme Court to have an oil workers strike planned for Wednesday declared illegal.
