Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said Wednesday he expects U.S. President Donald Trump not to interfere in Brazil's presidential election. Lula's statement comes amid preparations for Brazil's 2026 election cycle, in which Lula is a candidate. The remark references concerns over foreign interference in electoral processes. No further details on the context or any specific allegations were provided by Lula. The statement was reported by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). As The Zioneer previously reported, the backdrop includes recent tensions: Brazil's Supreme Court convicted Eduardo Bolsonaro — son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and brother of a presidential candidate — for encouraging U.S. intervention in his father's legal case. Lula's comment appears to be a political signal ahead of the campaign rather than a formal diplomatic démarche.
