Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva addressed U.S. President Donald Trump in a video message recorded in his garden at the Alvorada Palace, emphasizing his preference to "plant food, not hate" amid ongoing trade tensions. Lula, seen planting grapevines with soil-covered hands, invited Trump to visit Brazil and expressed hope for future dialogue. This message comes against the backdrop of a diplomatic and commercial crisis between the two countries, notably marked by U.S. tariffs imposed on Brazilian goods and sanctions on Brazilian judges. The tariffs and sanctions have exacerbated divisions within Brazil's political landscape, particularly between supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who back Trump's approach, and other right-wing figures cautious about leveraging tariffs to influence Bolsonaro's legal proceedings.
