Lula says Trump wants to ‘colonise’ and capture Brazil’s resources by meddling in election
A TV spot claims the US president is trying to sway October’s presidential vote in favour of Lula’s far-right opponents
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s presidential campaign has accused Donald Trump of wanting to “colonise” Brazil in order to capture its natural resources by meddling in next month’s presidential election.
The accusation came in a televised campaign advert that was broadcast on Thursday by Lula’s team amid growing fears over the impact alleged US interference could have on the vote.
