Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro visited Brazil on Monday, ahead of the South American leaders' summit which is to be held on Tuesday to discuss the revival of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR). Speaking in a joint press conference, the two leaders criticized the U.S. for sanctions against Venezuela and Maduro said he hopes a regional South American summit in Brasilia will call for their removal. Lula called the U.S. sanctions “extremely exaggerated“, saying the blockade is “worst than war“. The two leaders also have vowed to renew ties between Brazil and Venezuela which suffered under Lula's predecessor, far-right Jair Bolsonaro, embracing 'new era' in ties including economy, commerce, education, health, culture, and agriculture. Maduro proposed to be part of the BRICS group of leading emerging nations, which Lula said he would personally favor.
