(COMBO) This combination of pictures created on July 25, 2026 shows Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (L) during a meeting of the Council for Sustainable Economic and Social Development at the Itamaraty Palace in Brasilia on June 10, 2026; and US President Donald Trump greeting Prime Minister of Iraq Ali al-Zaidi outside the West wing of the White House in Washington, DC, on July 14, 2026. Brazil denied visas to two US officials who had planned to meet with electoral authorities less than three months before the presidential elections due to a "risk of political instrumentalization," a Brazilian diplomatic source told AFP on July 25, 2026.
