Lula jokes about sending ‘calming’ tree to Trump amid global tensions: Video
Brazil’s president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva joked he would gift a jaboticaba tree to Donald Trump to “calm him down” as geopolitical tensions continue to rise.
Speaking during a visit to an agricultural research centre, Lula highlighted the fruit’s supposed soothing properties while referencing strained global dynamics linked to the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran. He also mentioned plans to bring the tree to Xi Jinping, underscoring Brazil’s effort to showcase its agricultural strengths on the world stage. His remarks come as fragile ceasefire efforts between Washington and Tehran show little progress, with stalled talks and mutual accusations threatening to further destabilise the situation and impact global energy markets.
