On the eve, the two presidents spoke for about 50 minutes by phone, during which they addressed Lula’s visit to the U.S., the situation in Venezuela and the so-called Peace Council proposed by the United States, in addition to the fight against organized crime, according to a note from the Brazilian government.
On the same day, a source heard by Reuters had reported that the most likely timing for the visit was in March. According to the source, negotiations for a specific date should begin in the coming days.
