    247 - President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva congratulated the new President of the United States, Donald Trump, on his inauguration this Monday (20), according to a statement from the Palácio do Planalto.

    Lula emphasized the importance of maintaining respectful relations. "Relations between Brazil and the United States are marked by a history of cooperation, grounded in mutual respect and historical friendship," Lula stated, according to the document.

    The president also expressed his desire to advance partnerships with the U.S. "Our countries share strong ties in various areas such as trade, science, education, and culture. I am confident that we can continue to strengthen these and other partnerships. I wish President Trump a successful term that contributes to the prosperity and well-being of the American people and a more just and peaceful world," he said.

    Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States this Monday.

    Trump took the oath of office before Chief Justice John Roberts shortly before noon local time (5:00 PM GMT) in a ceremony held inside the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. The decision not to hold the ceremony outdoors, as is traditional, was made by Trump himself due to the exceptionally cold weather.

    He took the oath on a family Bible as well as the Bible used by Abraham Lincoln during his 1861 inauguration.

    Among the guests present were outgoing President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, as well as former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush with their respective spouses, while Barack Obama attended without former First Lady Michelle Obama.
