This stance, confirmed by multiple sources, included a notable snub of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, signaling a deterioration in US-Brazil bilateral relations. Lula also claimed his government would prevent foreign and domestic interference in upcoming elections, though specific evidence or mechanisms remain unclear.
