Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has sharply criticized global military spending and ongoing conflicts in a social media statement. He stated that 'what cannot happen is that the world spends $2.7 trillion on weapons while people go hungry.' Lula also questioned global decarbonization efforts, asking 'what cannot happen is that we talk about decarbonizing the planet while bombs are being dropped every single day.'
