UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said he plans to meet next week with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, adding that they had "excellent chemistry" during a brief encounter at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday.
Trump said that he and Lula spoke briefly and embraced after the Brazilian leader addressed the Assembly. The two leaders have been at odds for months over the trial and conviction of Brazilian ex-president Jair Bolsonaro.
