Lula's Stand for Teamwork in a Divided World

Brazil's leader, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, is not letting U. S. President Donald Trump's solo approach shake his belief in global cooperation. At the G20 meeting in South Africa, Lula made it clear that he thinks working together is the way to go, even if Trump isn't on board. Lula didn't seem too bothered by Trump skipping the G20. He said the group is still strong and hopes the U. S. will host a successful summit next year. The leaders at the G20 agreed on a plan to tackle climate change and other big issues, all without the U. S. chiming in. But Lula isn't just talking about teamwork. He's also keeping an eye on U. S. military moves in the Caribbean. He said he's worried about all the military activity there and plans to talk to Trump about it. Lula also has his sights set on the COP30 climate summit in Brazil. He's using these big meetings to push for action on climate change and other global problems. He believes that even if some countries want to go it alone, the rest of the world will keep working together.
