Presidents Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Donald Trump hold a meeting at the White House on Thursday. The talks cover organized crime, trade tariffs and critical minerals. Cuba is expected to remain a secondary topic, according to Itamaraty sources.
One day after a court block, President Lula revoked the visa of Donald Trump's advisor Darren Beattie, preventing his entry to Brazil where he planned to visit jailed ex-President Jair Bolsonaro. The move underscores Brazil's sovereignty amid US-Brazil tensions and responses to prior visa cancellations for Brazilian officials.
