Lula Says Trump ‘Should Not Meddle’ in Brazil’s Elections
Lula said Trump may favor the Bolsonaro family but warned that Brazil’s elections are a Brazilian problem, as tensions rise over tariffs and court rulings.
- On Wednesday, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva warned U.S. President Donald Trump to "stay out" of Brazil's upcoming elections, acknowledging Trump's right to personal preferences but demanding respect for the nation's domestic political process.
- Tensions escalated after Brazil's Supreme Court convicted Eduardo Bolsonaro on Tuesday of coercing interference from the Trump administration, sentencing the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro to four years in prison.
- The U.S. State Department criticized the conviction, calling it a "pattern of persecution and lawfare by the Brazilian courts against their political opposition," while arguing political debates should be settled by elections.
- During the G7 summit in France, Trump defended the Bolsonaro family, labeling the proceedings a "witch hunt" while erroneously conflating the jailed Eduardo with presidential candidate Senator Flavio Bolsonaro.
- Lula countered that Trump "doesn't know Brazil very well" if his understanding relies solely on the Bolsonaros, reiterating that while Trump can maintain personal ties, he must not meddle in internal elections.
