Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said Sunday he intends to speak with President Donald Trump to prevent a military confrontation with Venezuela, warning that rising tensions in the Caribbean could destabilize the region.
"I'm worried because South America is considered a zone of peace," Lula said after the G20 Leaders' Summit in South Africa. Referring to the U.S. military deployment off Venezuela's coast, he added, "I am very worried. And I intend to talk to President Trump about this because it concerns me."
