Emmanuel Macron - Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva meeting in Brasilia

BRASILIA, BRAZIL - MARCH 28: Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (R) awards French President Emmanuel Macron (L) with the Order of the Southern Cross decoration at the Planalto Palace in Brasilia, Brazil on March 28, 2024. Macron and Lula hold talks about Venezuela over the exclusion of a key opposition candidate from July elections. Venezuela's opposition Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD) was this week forced to register an unknown candidate after being unable to sign up Corina Yoris to face off against President Nicolas Maduro, who is seeking a third term in office.
