Lula dialed up Trump with a pitch you don't hear every day: how about we team up to track down Brazilian crime bosses chilling in Miami?
The Brazilian president apparently spent 40 minutes on the line with the former U.S. leader, bouncing between two wildly different topics—organized crime extradition and trade tariffs. Classic diplomatic multitasking, really.
According to Lula's account, the conversation covered joint operations against fugitive criminals who've been living comfortably in South Florida. But tariffs? Yeah, those came up too. Because why stick to one heavy topic when you can tackle international law enforcement AND economic policy in one call?
It's the kind of conversation that mixes hard power with hard bargaining—gangsters one minute, trade deals the next.

Lula is really a tough guy, managing to jump from talking about gangs to tariffs in just 40 minutes. How is that even possible? Trump must have been totally baffled, haha.

Damn, this move is wild—one phone call and he's both catching gangsters and discussing tariffs? Lula really knows how to make things happen; Trump is probably totally baffled by this.

lmao Lula is really good at pushing, huh. One phone call went from talking about gangs to tariffs, Trump must have been so confused—40 minutes straight turned into a negotiation marathon.
