Brazil’s president was harshly criticized by the White House for saying that the US had encouraged the conflict in Ukraine.
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva stated the US needs to “start talking about peace” when he made the remark at the conclusion of his weekend visit to Beijing.
John Kirby, a spokesman for the White House on national security, claimed today that Mr. Lula was “parroting Russian and Chinese propaganda” with his comments.
The leader of Brazil is “simply misguided,” he continued.
