Lula at UN criticizes US interference in Latin America, asserts Brazil's sovereignty

President Lula used his UN General Assembly address to denounce US interference in Latin American electoral processes, stating Brazil 'does not fit in anyone's backyard.' The speech signals a firm stance on sovereignty and non-intervention, potentially straining US-Brazil relations. It is a rhetorical position with no immediate policy change, but it sets a tone for Brazil's foreign policy under Lula.
