🇧🇷🤡💬🇺🇸 — 🇻🇪 Brazil’s socialist president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, in his desire to protect Nicolás Maduro’s dictatorship, said he wants to speak with President Donald Trump about the U.S. military deployment near Venezuela in order to act as a peace mediator to avoid conflicts.

“I am concerned, because South America is considered a zone of peace. We are a continent that has no nuclear weapons, no atomic bomb, we have nothing. Our business here is to work to develop and grow. I am very worried about the military apparatus that the United States has placed in the Caribbean Sea. I am very worried. And I intend to speak with President Trump about this, because it is worrying me.”

The Brazilian leader said that Brazil “has responsibility for South America” and recalled that the country he presides over shares a border with Venezuela, “and that is not a small thing.”
