The "family photo" with Lula and Trump this Tuesday (16) drew attention because it occurred amid tensions between Brazil and the USA due to the Trump administration's application of new tariffs against Brazilian products.
➡ The so-called "family photo" is the official photograph taken at meetings of heads of state and government. The name comes from the idea of bringing together all the participants in a single image and serves as a symbol of unity.
In addition to Trump and Lula, the following also took part in the photo:
the President of France, Emmanuel Macron;
Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney;
the Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni;
the Prime Minister of Japan, Sanae Takaichi;
the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen;
the president of the European Council, Antonio Costa;
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz;
the president of Egypt, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi;
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung;
the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi;
Kenya President William Ruto;
and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer.
After the photo, Lula spoke briefly with Úrsula von der Leyen while still at the portrait location. As they talked, Trump walked past the two. Lula and Trump did not greet each other on this occasion (see the video below).
There is no information until the last update of this report whether the Brazilian and North American presidents spoke at the opening of the summit.
