(Central News Agency reporter Tang Yaling, Sao Paulo, 17th) Brazilian President Lula was invited to attend the Group of Seven Major Industrial Countries (G7) summit held in France from the 15th to the 17th. As the global focus was on the war in Iran and Ukraine, although he failed to reach a specific agreement with US President Trump or the European Union, he still spoke out on issues such as artificial intelligence governance and mineral supply chain diversification, hoping to strengthen Brazil’s role in the world. BBC Brazil News reported that Lula (Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva) held talks with French President Emmanuel Macron during the summit and communicated with EU leaders to discuss the EU’s controversial ban on the import of Brazilian meat, fish and honey since September. Officials from the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs admitted that it would be difficult to reverse the decision in the short term, but still hoped to express concerns through dialogue. The main reason for the EU ban is that Brazil failed to fully prove that its livestock industry complies with the EU’s strict antimicrobial use regulations. This measure is part of the EU’s “One Health” policy, which aims to prevent the misuse of antibiotics and the spread of resistance. The EU announced in May 2026 that the ban would take effect on September 3. In terms of relations with the United States, the U.S. government has recently listed the Brazilian criminal organization “Red Legion” (CV) and the “First Capital Command” (PCC) as terrorist organizations and is considering imposing a 25% tariff on some Brazilian products, which has added to the uncertainty in bilateral relations. Brazil’s Supreme Court recently convicted Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and former congressman, for interfering with judicial proceedings. Donald Trump described Brazil as “politically dangerous” at the summit press conference, and his remarks once again raised doubts about U.S.-Brazil relations. The report pointed out that although it was difficult for Lula to achieve a breakthrough between the United States and Europe during the summit, he still spoke out on issues such as artificial intelligence governance, diversification of mineral supply chains, and development assistance for southern countries, striving for Brazil’s role in global governance. Although the summit has ended and failed to reach a specific agreement with Trump or the European Union, Brazil continues to accumulate diplomatic bargaining chips on multilateral occasions to avoid being marginalized on the international stage.
