Brazil does not want ‘a new Cold War’, says President Lula
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva says Brazil does not want a new Cold War and urges equal treatment of all countries in relations with the United States and others. He plans to tell U.S. President Donald Trump that Brazil seeks balanced engagement and to avoid escalating tensions.
Lula emphasized Brazil’s desire for a peaceful, multipolar international order where no nation dominates others, seeking cooperation across regions on trade, climate, and security. He underscored the importance of dialogue and mutual respect in global diplomacy.
The remarks come amid regional and global debates on alliance dynamics and rising geopolitical competition, with Brazil positioning itself as a proponent of diplomacy over confrontation.
