Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The Brazilian President's statements were made in a context where he has had bilateral meetings with Trump, despite his criticism of the US government's positions on various issues, such as Washington's interference in the trial of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
In an interview with the Washington Post, he says his personal relationship with Donald Trump can help attract American investment, prevent further tariffs and sanctions, and ensure respect for Brazilian democracy.
