Foreign diplomats in Brasilia are discussing how to manage the presidential runoff, amid concerns that Donald Trump or his administration might question the election result if Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wins by a small margin. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva warned Donald Trump against interfering in Brazil's internal affairs, while the Trump administration proposed tariffs against a South American country. Meanwhile, court filings show that Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's campaign is seeking the disqualification of Flávio Bolsonaro over alleged election interference by Meta.
