Government decides to adopt discreet stance in debate about deported US, says Jornal

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s government (PT) chose to adopt a discreet approach in his conversations with the United States about immigration and other sensitive issues. The information is from the newspaper The globe.

The strategy would be to avoid boast, as shown by the recent request for clarification on the treatment of Brazilians deported in Manaus.

On Monday (27), the US embassy business in Brasilia, Gabriel Escobar, was summoned to Itamaraty to discuss the episode in which Brazilians deported landed handcuffed and chains.

Reports of aggression and difficulties during the flight were presented. The meeting was conducted to avoid politicization of the theme, focusing on the treatment of Brazilian communities abroad.

According to the newspaper, citing diplomatic sources, the meeting between ambassador Marcia Loureiro and Escobar was considered positive.

This perception reinforces the expectation that Lula maintains careful posture during the emergency meeting convened by the Latin American and Caribbean community (Celac).

According to the newspaper, the example of Colombia, who retreated in the decision not to receive planes with deported after threats of fares by Donald Trump, is seen as a “error that cannot be repeated.”
