Despite this blunder, Biden and Lula—who shook hands for reporters in New York on at least one occasion—found agreement on big issues impacting Washington and Brasilia, and talked of strengthening the relationship between the two countries.
"This meeting here, for me, is more than a bilateral meeting," said Lula."It is the rebirth of a new era in the relationship between the U.S. and Brazil. It is a relationship of equals." Lula's predecessor,On the topic of workers' rights, which was central in their meeting, Lula said:"There's no democracy without strong trade unions.
"The two largest democracies in the Western Hemisphere are standing up for human rights around the world and the hemisphere, and that includes workers' rights," Biden said.
