Lula Criticizes Trump and Warns Against Twitter Wars

Brazilian President Lula criticized U.S. President Donald Trump in a speech in Germany, saying the world cannot bow to a president who believes he can tax, punish, and wage war by tweet. He also condemned the Iran war as madness. Meanwhile, in Brazil, Lula's performance in the Northeast has worsened and his party, the PT, is on alert over divisions in its base. A coordinator for Lula in the Northeast admitted there are "out-of-tune instruments" but still sees the 2026 elections as easier than 2022.
