Trump to Host Brazil’s Leader

“President Trump will host President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil at the White House on Thursday, at a moment of a fragile truce following a tense year of U.S. tariffs and public insults between the leaders of the Western Hemisphere’s largest nations,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Trump has subjected Brazil to a whiplash of measures, only to abruptly walk back several of the harshest penalties. Mr. Lula, a leftist, has condemned Mr. Trump’s policies toward Iran and Cuba, along with his recent critical comments about Pope Leo XIV.”
