“I have told President Trump, political problems cannot be solved with weapons, but with dialogue,” he added.
The 80-year-old leader, who is currently in the city of Belem to chair the COP30 climate summit on Thursday and Friday, said the United States should help countries fight drug trafficking “instead of shooting at them.”
Lula also said that this issue would be one of the main topics at the summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) which was scheduled to take place on November 9-10 in the city of Santa Marta, Colombia.
