French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Brazil has sparked discussions about diplomacy and global relationships. Macron's tour, including a visit to the Amazon Rainforest with former Brazilian President Lula, highlights a shift in France's approach towards the global south. The visit has raised questions about the level of commitment from other Western leaders, such as US President Biden, towards Brazil and the Western Hemisphere.
great display of a competent leader in the west where we seriosusly lack that key trait cant imagine macron, trudeau, lula, biden, petro or any known leader giving this type of response beside bukele and maybe putin (tho hed detail ancient siberian history before making a point) https://t.co/0SrXa9aAoT

This is the French president. Why isn’t Biden showing more of a commitment to Brazil and articulating a vision for the Western Hemisphere? https://t.co/5Wtj0jvdHQ
It's true, the love-fest images of Macron & Lula do contradict the "West is angry at Brazil" narrative that many incl myself have spoken of. Diplomacy is always theater & disagreements remain, but you see a willingness to meet BR where it is...& relief (still!) Bolsonaro is gone! https://t.co/lvhZWwKJL4
