Trump meets Brazil’s Lula at ASEAN summit, touts ‘pretty good deals’
AI Summary
US President Donald Trump and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva met on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur on October 26, 2025, aiming to improve relations strained by US tariffs imposed earlier that year. Lula described the meeting as "great" and announced that both countries' negotiating teams would begin working immediately to address the tariffs and sanctions against Brazilian officials. Trump had previously linked the tariffs to what he termed a "witch hunt" against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who was sentenced to 27 years in prison for attempting a coup after losing the 2022 election. Despite their differing views on Bolsonaro, both leaders expressed optimism about reaching agreements and strengthening ties between the US and Brazil.
