"The president of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, rejected the possibility of “a second Cold War” and assured that his country is committed to maintaining relations with all nations during his meeting with Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro in Lisbon on Tuesday. During his statements, the president insisted that Brazil does not want to align itself with geopolitical blocs or participate in confrontations between powers, but rather promote dialogue and international cooperation. “We have no commercial preference between China and the United States. We want to have relations with China, with the United States, with Russia, with France, with everyone. Without preference. What we want is multilateralism, harmony, and a lot of peace to be able to negotiate,” affirmed the Brazilian leader. Lula also joked about former US President Donald Trump, and jested with the idea of awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize. “We see daily statements, I don’t know if jokingly or not, from President Trump saying that he has already ended eight wars and still hasn’t won the Nobel Peace Prize. So it’s important that we quickly give a Nobel Prize to President Trump so that there are no more wars,” he stated sarcastically. Lula’s words come in a context of global tensions and reflect his critical stance towards political speeches that, according to him, trivialise international conflicts."
