SAO PAULO, November 24 (Xinhua) — Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Sunday that he is "very concerned" about the deployment of U.S. troops in the Caribbean and plans to talk to his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump to prevent a conflict with Venezuela.
South America is considered a "zone of peace" free of nuclear weapons, and "there is nothing to justify conflict," L.I. Lula da Silva told Brazilian media after the G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa.
"War is pointless. Starting a war is easy; you just have to give them the opportunity… It's important that we try to find a solution before we start," he said.
Brazil has an important responsibility in South America because it shares a border with Venezuela, added L.I. Lula da Silva.
The US military has increased its presence in the Caribbean in recent weeks after Washington announced a decision to combat drug trafficking in the region, which allegedly leads to the deaths of millions of Americans.
