Blinken on Lula Genocide Comments: 'We Profoundly Disagree... But That's What Friends Do'

Secretary of State Antony Blinken at a Thursday press conference in Rio de Janeiro said he disagrees with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's recent comments comparing the situation in Gaza to the Holocaust, yet also praised the South American leader after what he says was a productive conversation they had together about common global goals amid the G20 conference taking place in the city. During the press conference, Blinken discussed the Biden Administration's and G20's agreements to work on global climate, financial and food security issues.
