New Facts: Trump and Lula Hold Key Meeting at White
President Trump and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva met for about three hours at the White House, then skipped a planned Oval Office media appearance. Lula asked that there be no press before the talks and later briefed reporters at Brazil’s embassy in Washington.
The leaders discussed trade and tariffs, security and organized crime, and Brazil’s critical minerals. They directed their teams to meet in the coming weeks, with a working group to resolve trade disputes within 30 days. That process will address the remaining U.S. surcharges on Brazilian goods, which include an extra 10 percent due to expire in July.
Lula said he urged Trump to revive dialogue with Iran and handed him the 2010 Brazil–Turkey nuclear accord text. He said Trump told him he has no plans to invade Cuba. Lula invited U.S. investment in rare‑earth projects while saying Brazil does not intend to remain only a raw‑materials exporter.
