Joe Biden invited his Brazilian counterpart Lula to visit him in Washington in early February, according to a joint statement after a telephone conversation on Monday, specifying that the invitation has been accepted.
During this exchange with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the US president expressed the “unfailing support of the United States for Brazilian democracy”, the day after an attack by supporters of former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro against the main places of power in Brasilia.
This phone call comes the day after an attack by supporters of the far-right ex-president Jair Bolsonaro against the main places of power in Brasilia.
Work on “the challenges” of the border with Mexico
The two leaders also vowed to “work closely together on the challenges facing the United States and Mexico, including climate change, economic development, peace and security.”
Lula, as well as the heads of Congress and the Supreme Court, have strongly affirmed the need for democracy in Brazil, the day after the invasions and looting of three emblematic places of power in Brasilia by unleashed Bolsonaristas.
Campaigns of radicals who still reject Lula’s victory more than two months after his election have been dismantled by the police, who have also made numerous arrests, signing a takeover after the scenes of chaos the day before.
Scenes that obviously recall the assault on the Washington Capitol on February 6, 2021 by supporters of another president, Donald Trump, the predecessor of Joe Biden.
