The U.S. Government has stated that the statements made by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva about Washington are »outrageous» and that with them Brazil is renouncing the pretense of neutrality in its speeches on the war in Ukraine.
»Despite declaring itself neutral in the geopolitical dispute between the United States and China, Brazil seems to have clearly aligned itself with China and Russia» as explained by different members of the US government interviewed by the Brazilian media Folha, who have affirmed that »Brazilians have not only failed to value balance in their positions, but have adopted a clear opposition to Washington».
»We are not pressuring Brazil not to have relations with Xi Jinping’s regime or to choose one of the two countries, since the United States also has great exchanges with China» they have related, but they consider that the President of Brazil, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mauro Vieira and Lula’s own special advisor, Celso Amorim, »have adopted a tone of antagonism against the United States».
The members of the government interviewed by the above mentioned media consider Lula’s vision of the United States as an obstacle to end the war in Ukraine and China and Russia as the countries that are going to end it as »most problematic».
The president of Brazil declared this Saturday in China that »the United States needs to stop encouraging war and start talking about peace. The European Union needs to start talking about peace so that we can convince Putin and Zelenski that peace is in everyone’s interest and that war, for the moment, is only in the interest of both of them».
