President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) stated this Friday (10) that the The geopolitical situation is “difficult” because the President of the United States, Donald Trump, is “threatening everyone”. “The world is difficult, Trump is there threatening everyone. Trump doesn’t know what a Pernambuco is, otherwise he will never threaten here,” said the president. According to Lula, if Trump knew about his descent from Virgulino Ferreira da Silva (1898-1938), the cangaceiro Lampião, “he would be very careful”. “If he knew what a nervous northeasterner was, he wouldn’t fight with Brazil,” he said.
O president once again said that Brazil is not interested in getting involved in global conflicts and that those who want war must go to the “other side of the world”. “We don’t want war, we want peace. We want access to culture, touring, studying, dating, playing. We only want good things. Whoever wants war, goes to the other side of the planet, because here we are the land of peace and love and of those who are not afraid of being happy”, he said.
Since the end of February, there has been a conflict in the Middle East that began after a joint US and Israeli operation that culminated in the death of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The effects of the crisis are affecting Brazil, especially in the fuel sector.
