BRAZIL: Lula appeals to allies in Europe
Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva visited Spain, Germany, and Portugal from 17-22 April, shoring up ties with European partners ahead of 1 May, when the trade deal between the European Union (EU) and the Mercosur trade bloc takes effect provisionally.
