Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is set to meet with his American counterpart Joe Biden in Washington on February 10, the US presidency informed AFP on Thursday.
Lula, who was sworn in as president of Brazil on January 1 for a third term, will go to Washington, D.C., on February 9 for two days, according to his communications staff.
The Brazilian leader affirmed that he wants to improve strained ties with international governments, including those with the US.
Last week, Lula hinted that the storming of the capital Brasilia by the supporters of former leader Jair Bolsonaro could have been an inside job, and voiced fears that some presidential staff might aim to get rid of him.
"I am convinced that the door of the Planalto (presidential) palace was opened for people to enter because there are no broken doors. This means that someone facilitated their entry," said Lula while talking to the reporters.
The far-left leader added that a "thorough review" of palace staff had been ordered to substantiate the allegations. "We will investigate calmly to see what really happened."
