Brazil’s Lula slams ‘interference’ in previously colonized countries, without naming Trump

Lula condemned colonial-style interference and U.N. failures to prevent conflicts, urging Security Council reform amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and Brazil’s upcoming elections.

  • On Saturday in Bogotá, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva warned against interference violating territorial integrity and criticized the United Nations' failure to stop multiple conflicts while announcing his fourth-term candidacy.
  • Framing a return to colonialism, he cited Nicolás Maduro’s capture and Cuba’s fuel blockade, accusing others of seeking control over Brazil’s rare earth deposits.

  • Relatively few regional presidents and prime ministers attended the summit, and Colombian President Gustavo Petro said the U.N. is 'acting in impotence'.
  • Longstanding U.S. intervention, dating back more than 200 years, and recent actions since last year frame Lula's critique.
