Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will meet on February 10 with his US counterpart, Joe Biden, during a visit to the White House, government sources have confirmed.
The United States will thus become the third country visited by Lula after taking office on January 1, since he plans to go to Argentina next week to attend the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac). The president will also travel to Uruguay, as reported by the G1 television network.
In December, the White House sent a delegation to Brazil to deliver Lula an invitation from Biden to travel to Washington “as soon as possible.” The two presidents have already exchanged phone calls in recent weeks, as have their corresponding foreign ministers, Mauro Vieira and Antony Blinken.
