Brazil’s new president will meet with Biden on Friday afternoon to address lofty goals surrounding democracy and climate change. The two have a lot in common after recent events in both countries.

Hundreds of federal agents have been sent to the Yanomami reserve in the northern Amazon to root out the illegal operations that have polluted the local rivers and land.

Biden had pledged to create a global fund for Amazon protection. Lula is expected to ask the U.S. leader to contribute to the existing Amazon Fund, which he has restarted after its demise under Bolsonaro. The $1.3 billion fund is supported mainly by Norway and Germany and provides money to deforestation prevention and sustainable development projects in the rainforest.

He also doesn't take sides in recent tensions between the U.S. and China. China is Brazil's top trading partner. It does nearly double the amount of trade with China than with its second largest partner, the United States. Lula has a trip planned to China next month.

I remember when NPR was non-partisan. Now it only resonates with one side of the American political spectrum. Is there any middle ground news today?

I guess this is more fun to tweet than to cover the hearings on Weaponization of the government, eh? NPR isn’t even trying to hide it anymore. NPR is MSNBC for people who say fuck slightly less.

Afterward they will swing by Publix to check in on Bolsanaro

Both of those things are myths.
