00:00Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has warned U.S. President Donald Trump
00:06not to interfere in Brazil's election due to be held in October this year.
00:11Lula, who is seeking re-election, made the comments after Trump
00:15described Brazil as a little rough and politically dangerous.
00:21The exchange marks the latest development in a strained relationship between the two leaders.
00:27Lula's main challenger is Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro
00:32and a Trump ally, who is currently under house arrest after being convicted of plotting a coup
00:37following Brazil's 2022 election.
00:40Last month, Trump met Flavio Bolsonaro and his brother Eduardo,
00:43a former lawmaker who now lives in the United States.
00:47Eduardo has been seeking international support for his family.
00:50He was convicted by Brazil's Supreme Court this week for seeking foreign interference in his father's case,
00:56including from the Trump administration, an allegation he denies.
