The Minister of Finance, Dario Durigan, said that the President of the United States, Donald Trump, was touched by the story of the Brazilian President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). During the meeting between the representatives, the PT member would have told about his childhood out of curiosity for the American, which generated surprise for the American.
The meeting took place last week at the White House. According to Durigan, . It was then that the Brazilian reported about his life and this would have “messed” with the American president.
“Lula told Trump that he ate a piece of bread for the first time when he was 7 years old. That messed with Trump. And Lula even said that he was the only president who didn’t have a degree, but that if you add up all the deliveries from public universities of all the presidents, they don’t have the same number of deliveries as me”, said Durigan.
The statements were made in an interview with journalist José Luiz Datena, from TV Brasil, released this Tuesday (12). He also said he stayed. According to Durigan, the two talked about their personal lives and the PT member also talked about his experience in prison, which would also have caught the American’s attention.
“They both talked about personal issues, which is good for establishing contact between real people. They are people who have history. When Lula said he spent more than 500 days in prison, Trump asked: ‘how do you live with that?’ And he responds: ‘very calmly’. Lula reinforced that he won the elections and said that he refused to put on the ankle bracelet because he wanted to prove his innocence. And Trump tells his advisors ‘this is a unique figure’”, concluded Durigan.
The meeting between the two took place last Thursday (7). The two discussed topics related to the economy, public security and geopolitics.
