“It was a good and friendly meeting,” said Amorim, who participated in the meeting with Senator Jacques Wagner, former governor of Bahia.
The meeting lasted an hour and a half in a São Paulo hotel and was seen as a gesture by US President Joe Biden, given the possibility, based on the polls, that Lula could become president-elect on October 2 if of beating President Jair Bolsonaro, who is seeking re-election, by half plus one of the votes.
“Dialogue -said the PT president- is always important and obviously the United States is important for our trade relations; they should be interested in talking due to the prospect of Lula’s victory; Lula established relations with ambassadors from other countries as well”.
The US embassy said in a statement yesterday that meetings with Brazilian leaders are “valuable opportunities to hear political views on mutual interest.”
According to Folha, Koneff sent the message of the Biden government that there is confidence in the Brazilian electoral system, especially in the face of President Bolsonaro’s threats that there may be irregularities against him in the event of defeat, as he repeated on Monday from London.
Bolsonaro is an ally of Republican Donald Trump, the president defeated in 2020 by Biden who did not acknowledge defeat by denouncing fraud, a position that the Brazilian far-right also supported.
The United States is Brazil’s second largest trading partner since 2009, when it was displaced from that position by China.
