Cape Times
|December 04, 2025
BRAZIUS President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and his US counterpart Donald ‘Trump agreed in a phone call this week to intensify cooperation in the fight against organised crime, the Brazilian presidency said.
-
Lula phoned Trump after the two men in October held their first official meeting, ushering in improved ties after months of growing animosity between Brasilia and Washington.
During the 40-minute conversation, Lula said greater cooperation was needed between the two countries to fight organised crime, the presidency said in a statement.
The conversation comes amid tensions over US strikes on alleged drug traffickers near the Venezuelan coast, which have killed at least 83 people since early September.
