Trump will host Brazilian president for talks on economy and security, a White House official says

President Donald Trump will host Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Thursday for talks about shared economic and security issues. That's according to a White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity about a meeting that has not been officially announced. The leftist Lula and Trump have had an up-and-down relationship since the U.S. leader’s return to the White House last year. Trump hit Brazil with steep tariffs and has pressed Brazilian authorities over their prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro for his involvement in a coup plot.
