17 de setembro de 2009STF julga parcelamento de precatórios e questões indígenas e ambientais
21 de setembro de 2009Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Wednesday he might not discuss during the coming Group of 20(G20) financial summit with U.S. President Barack Obama about the extended U.S. economic embargo on Cuba.
“I will meet Obama in Pittsburgh and I will see if I talk with him, because I did not understand the U.S. position,” said Lula, “But anyway, who am I to question the sovereign decision of another head of state?”
The United States on Monday issued a communique stating that it will extend for another year the Law of Commerce with the Enemy, which has been keeping an economic embargo on Cuba since 1962.
The Brazilian president told a press conference that the extension of the U.S. embargo on Cuba did not affect the U.S.-Latin America ties because “we still have to build many things related to Latin America and the U.S..”
Lula’s international affairs advisor, Marco Aurelio Garcia, said Monday that the extension of the embargo was a deception and a negative gesture, which frustrated the expectations of the Latin American countries about the Obama administration.
The plan will also encourage planting in flat lands suited for harvesting machines, which help avoid the polluting practice of burning sugar-cane leaves before manually harvesting the stalks.
