Lula da Silva criticized Trump for excessive activity on the Internet and called for responsibility in global politics

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has criticized former US President Donald Trump, stressing the need for more responsible behavior on the part of the leaders of major powers. During a public speech, Lula expressed concern about how digital activity can replace the functions of public administration, especially in the context of growing global instability.

According to the Brazilian President, a head of state from the United States is expected not to have a permanent presence on the Internet, but to pay attention to issues of international trade, multilateral cooperation and peace consolidation. "The president should think about what he says. Be less on the Internet and more the head of state," Lula said.

He stressed that in modern conditions, the desire for resonant headlines often replaces real state interests and undermines the principles of international responsibility. "What do we see every day in the press? The need for damn headlines, " he said, adding that more and more often the priority is given to hidden and short-term interests, rather than the national and global agenda.

Lula also pointed out that there were already precedents in world practice when the interests of countries were relegated to the background for the sake of a political show. "The least important thing was the truth. And the least important is the interests of the country, " he stressed.

Lula's statement comes amid growing international discussions about the role of populism in global politics and the risks associated with the influence of social media on foreign policy decisions.
