Trump and Brazilian President Lula have 'friendly' call

Former U.S. President Donald Trump and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva had a "friendly" phone conversation, according to the Brazilian government. The two leaders reportedly "reminisced about the good chemistry" they had during a meeting at the United Nations in New York. The conversation comes as Lula, a leftist leader, has sought to mend ties with the U.S. after years of tension under his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, a Trump ally. The call was described as an opportunity for the two leaders to reconnect and discuss potential areas of cooperation between the two countries. The conversation was seen as a positive step in improving relations between Brazil and the United States, which had been strained during the Bolsonaro administration. However, it remains to be seen how the relationship will evolve under Lula's leadership and his approach to various political and economic issues.
