The president of Brazil urged US President Trump to avoid meddling in the country's internal electoral process to maintain a balanced partnership between the two nations. Lula noted signs of interference involving artificial intelligence and expressed suspicion regarding Senator Marco Rubio's links to supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro. He described Trump's governing approach as unilateral and compared the style of leadership to that of an emperor who believes the strongest should prevail.

Lula also called for prompt elections in Venezuela to allow citizens to choose their president, claiming US treatment of Venezuelan officials suggests a loss of national sovereignty. He alleged that Senator Rubio treats Venezuela's oil money as a resource for the US and stated that Nicolás Maduro must be tried in court if guilty. The Brazilian leader questioned the validity of US accusations by comparing them to the failed searches for chemical weapons in Iraq.
