SAO PAULO (AP) -- Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will meet with Russia's Vladimir Putin in Moscow and China's Xi Jinping in Beijing, two important partners for the South American giant, in May. The announcement Monday came as the world braces for a global trade war following U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs.
The press office of Brazil's Presidency told The Associated Press that Lula is expected to attend Russia's Victory Day celebrations on May 9, marking the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. The Brazilian leader then planned to travel to Beijing to participate in the China-Community of Latin American and Caribbean States Forum on May 12.
