(COMBO) This combination of file pictures created on Setember 30, 2026, shows Brazil's President and re-election candidate Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at the Planalto Palace in Brasilia on September 8, 2026; and US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on June 24, 2026. US officially remains on the sidelines of Brazil's hotly contested election campaign, but behind the scenes, Donald Trump clearly leans toward right-wing candidate Jair Bolsonaro, the rival of leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
