Lula's Global Diplomacy: Strengthening Ties with China and Ukraine.

Brazilian President Lula da Silva's foreign policy prioritizes pragmatism and dialogue, showing little concern over whether it antagonizes Washington or the West. Lula is currently in China to strengthen ties with the country, which is Brazil's largest trading partner. Lula's approach to foreign policy is in contrast to his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, who was known for his pugnacious isolationism. Lula is also a founder of the BRICS, which aims to support the world's fastest-growing economies without requiring them to embrace specific political values.
