**Lula Rejects US Pressure on Brazil’s Criminal Factions**
​
After the Trump administration called on Brazil to take stronger action against **criminal factions operating inside the country**, President **Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva** pushed back.
​
 Lula said that, by the Trump administration’s own definition of ‘terrorism,’ the label would apply not to Brazil’s criminal groups, but to **former President Jair Bolsonaro over the January 8 coup attempt**.
