Under the shadow of Trump, Lula sews international response to ‘extremism’

Within the Planalto Palace, it is estimated that the region is “orphaned” from a Latin American scope that can position itself against the advance of American foreign policy. In Mercosur, the agenda is partly braked by Argentina and Paraguay, countries that have combined themselves to the White House. In the OAS, the US presence prevents any more forceful debate. Even at Celac, Esperança do Brasil from a regional arrangement resumption, was undermined by Trump allies on the continent.

In the case of the summit, a final statement is being sewn. But the Facto News It found that there will be no explicit mention to the US President. The consideration of the Chileans is that, with the election approaching in the country, turning the summit into an act against Trump may end up damaging the progressive wing in electoral calculations. The instability in Colombia nor helps.

Lula, however, will use the stage to make a speech on Monday afternoon. Advisors prepared a “blunt” message from defense of sovereignty, in the face of attacks against STF ministers and tariffs imposed against Brazil.

Government members consider that the dispute is “just beginning” and that the crisis will not be resolved overnight, or with a market opening negotiation.

Regulation of social networks

In addition, one of the central themes of the interest of the US government will be at the center of attention in Santiago: the regulation of technologies and social networks. The Trump government considers that this would be a form of censorship.
