United States President Joe Biden this Monday expressed his “unconditional” support for Brazilian President Lula da Silva, a day after the attack by Bolsonarists on the headquarters of the Three Powers in Brasília, inviting him to a visit to the White House next month.
During a phone call, “President Biden expressed the unconditional support of the United States for democracy in Brazil,” the White House said in a statement, adding that Biden, who is attending a regional summit in Mexico, has invited Lula to visit the United States. “beginning of February”.
Biden invited the Brazilian president to “visit Washington in early February for in-depth consultations on a broadly shared agenda,” and Lula da Silva “accepted the invitation.”
The US president “condemned the violence and attack on democratic institutions and the peaceful transfer of power,” the White House note said.
It is also mentioned that “the two leaders pledged to work together” on issues related to “climate change, economic development, peace and security”.
Biden’s invitation comes after the invasion, on Sunday, by supporters of former Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, to the headquarters of the republic’s presidency, congress and federal Supreme Court in Brasília.
The attacks by Bolsonaro supporters in Brasília were reminiscent of the invasion of the United States Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump on January 6, 2021.
