Germany's Merz Expects 'Unburdened' Future Talks With Lula After Brazil Remarks | Dawn News English

‎German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Wednesday (November 19) that he expects “unburdened” talks with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, after comments he made about Brazil sparked diplomatic irritation. Speaking at a trade congress last week, Merz recounted asking journalists if they wished to stay in Brazil during the COP30 visit, joking that “not one hand was raised,” and adding they were relieved to return to Germany. A government spokesperson later clarified that Merz’s comments were being misinterpreted and referred to the delegation’s exhaustion. Lula, however, publicly pushed back, suggesting Merz should have explored Belem’s nightlife instead. The episode adds to a pattern of past gaffes that have shadowed Merz’s political career. ‎ ‎ ‎#Germany #Brazil #Merz #Lula #Diplomacy #COP30 #Berlin #BrazilPolitics #EU #southamerica --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
