“Presidents of China and Brazil hail 'new phase' in relations between two countries, which are major trading partners”
Why would any country trust Trump? Why would any country make deals that engage their future, with a man so obviously determined to destroy the world. I'm sure that Lula doesn't want to cozy up to Xi. But as a lesser of two evils, there's just no contest.
