Brazil's Lula to travel to US for talks with Trump this week: Reuters
The leaders are expected to discuss tariffs, technology firms and strategic minerals as Brazil seeks to ease tensions and expand cooperation.
- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will travel to Washington on Thursday to meet President Donald Trump, according to media reports and Brazilian government officials.

- Vice President Geraldo Alckmin confirmed the trip will address tariffs, major technology companies, rare earth elements, and cooperation on organized crime—key economic and security priorities for both nations.
- Alckmin expressed optimism about strengthening ties, stating, "I hope this good understanding can be further strengthened" for the two Western democracies.
- Despite improving relations, Lula has previously criticized United States foreign policy, calling the Cuba embargo a "global disgrace" and arguing Washington risks overstepping by relying on military and economic power.
