Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva made a powerful call for a new Latin American doctrine during an event with high school students in Sao Bernardo do Campo. His goal? To build regional unity and independence 🚀.
'We want to build a Latin American doctrine, with Latin American teachers and students, so that we can dream of an independent continent,' Lula said. He stressed that no foreign leader should ever speak arrogantly to Brazil again 🤝.
On sovereignty, Lula reminded everyone that it's not only about courage but also about dignity and character. 'Defending our rights is non-negotiable,' he added.
His speech comes amid a thaw in Brazil's relationship with the United States. After Washington hit Brazilian goods with tariffs of up to 50%, both sides plan a formal bilateral meeting to iron out the details following Lula's virtual chat earlier this month with U.S. President Donald Trump.
