On June 17, 2026, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva cautioned US President Donald Trump to refrain from meddling in Brazil's upcoming elections.
This warning comes in the wake of US criticism directed at Brazil's judiciary, particularly concerning actions taken against Lula's political adversaries.
With the Brazilian elections scheduled for October 2026, concerns about foreign influence in the electoral process have been heightened by Trump's recent comments.
