The US and Brazil are discussing a possible meeting between Presidents Joe Biden and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at next month’s United Nations General Assembly in New York, according to three Brazilian officials, amid strains in relations.
Biden and Lula, as the Brazilian leader is known, spoke by telephone Wednesday about their common goals on climate and other issues even as the two countries have had recent disputes over the war in Ukraine and relations with China.
The officials who described the potential meeting did so on condition of anonymity because it had not been finalized. The US National Security Council declined to comment late Wednesday night.
Biden, according to a White House account of the call, promised to ask Congress to provide $500 million over five years for a fund to promote reforestation in the Amazon and “help mobilize up to $1 billion to support the restoration of degraded lands in Brazil and the Amazon region through the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation.”
