Lula’s trip is classified as a “working visit”, and is more discreet than a state visit.
Unlike official ceremonies with gala dinner and military honors, the meeting will be held in the Oval Office.
Among the main topics on the agenda are tariffs imposed by the United States on Brazilian products, such as steel, aluminum, copper and furniture.
Another subject that should be discussed is international cooperation in . Members of the Lula government intend to reduce diplomatic noise involving the possibility of Brazilian factions, such as the PCC and Comando Vermelho, being classified as terrorist organizations by the United States.
