US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would meet with Brazil’s president next week, even after fiercely criticizing Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for the prosecution of his predecessor over a coup plot.
“I was walking in, and the leader of Brazil was walking out…. We actually agreed that we would meet next week,” said Trump, who has imposed steep tariffs on Brazil and sanctions on officials in retaliation for the jailing of former right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro.
