President Biden will host newly elected Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at the White House on Friday for talks focused on democracy just over a month after supporters of his defeated predecessor Jair Bolsonaro stormed government buildings in Brazil’s capital in protest over the election.
“President Biden quickly and clearly denounced what took place in Brazil on January 8 and joined leaders all over the world in expressing his unwavering support for Democracy in Brazil,” the White House said ahead of Friday’s meeting. “He reiterated this commitment and made this clear in his call with President Lula on January 9.”
Mr. Bolsonaro, who is facing investigations in Brazil, traveled to Florida days before Mr. Lula took office and has remained there since. Last month, Mr. Bolsonaro applied for a six-month tourist visa to remain in the U.S.
