Trump's Demands for Lula at Miami Meeting
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva begins organizing his new term amid economic concerns, while opposition leaders regroup following Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's departure to the United States. Flávio Bolsonaro left Brazil via Argentina after Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes restricted his travel and seized his passports. He reportedly received a US visa from Donald Trump's government, intensifying the bolsonarismo-STF conflict. Conservative leaders are focusing on Senate control to challenge the STF, with São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas emerging as a potential 2030 presidential candidate. Analysts warn of Brazil's regional isolation and fiscal pressure, with public debt potentially exceeding 100% of GDP.
