Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva stated that Brazil does not want a "new Cold War" ahead of his planned visit to the United States in early March 2026. Speaking after a trip to India, Lula expressed his desire to tell US President Donald Trump that Brazil wants all countries treated equally and opposes interference in other nations. He anticipates discussing trade, immigration, and investment with Trump, expressing optimism that Brazil-US relations will normalize. While disagreements exist on issues like tariffs and foreign policy, ties appear to be improving, evidenced by the US exempting key Brazilian exports from tariffs in November. Lula emphasized Brazil's desire for peace, job creation, and improved living standards.
