"In 2002, I went to visit Bush and he came with a 40-minute lecture telling me how important it was to end terrorism. He called on Brazil to take part in what he called an extraordinary fight to end terrorism by invading Iraq. I simply said to him: I don't know Saddam Hussein," he said.

According to Lula, during the conversation he said that Iraq was a long way from Brazil and he was already facing another war. "I had another war: hunger. In my country, hunger affected 54 million people. And I was going to win that war," he added.

Bush seemed to have enjoyed a good relation with Lula weirdly enough. He was always calling him to help in diplomacy with Iran, Cuba or Venezuela. Obama tried to do the same thing but Hillary Clinton did everything possible to sabotage the Lula's Iran nuclear deal.
