WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will host Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Washington on Thursday for talks on shared economic and security issues. The meeting has not been officially announced, according to a White House official.

Lula will travel on Wednesday for the meeting with Trump the following day, according to one source. The White House has yet to confirm reports of the trip. The Brazilian paper O Globo first reported the planned visit.

Thursday's meeting follows prior contacts between the two leaders this year. Trump and Lula met at the United Nations General Assembly in September and held their first private meeting in Malaysia in October. They have also held subsequent phone conversations. In January, Trump and Lula spoke by phone, and Lula said he would travel to the United States in the future.

The talks come after a period of friction over trade and the prosecution of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. Trump imposed tariffs on Brazilian products and pressed Brazilian authorities over their prosecution of Bolsonaro for his involvement in a coup plot. The Trump administration imposed a 40% tariff on Brazilian products in July and earlier imposed a 10% tariff hike.

Trump justified the tariffs by saying that Brazil's policies and criminal prosecution of Bolsonaro constituted an economic emergency. The U.S. also pressured Brazilian authorities to drop the legal case against Bolsonaro. Trump later loosened tariffs on Brazil as part of his effort to lower consumer costs for Americans.

Bolsonaro was accused of masterminding a plot to stay in power despite his 2022 election loss to Lula. Trump faced similar charges after a mob of his supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol in 2021 to stop Joe Biden from taking office. Lula is running for reelection in October.
