The Guardian reporta:

“RECIFE, Brazil, March 27 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva urged U.S. President George W. Bush in fatherly tones on Thursday to resolve the credit crisis in the United States so that Brazil’s economy would not be harmed.

In a speech to businessmen in Recife, Lula said British Prime Minister Gordon Brown had told him that Bush was bothered by some of the Brazilian leader’s earlier comments on the situation.

Lula said he had then telephoned the U.S. leader.

“I said to Bush: ‘The problem is this, my son. We (in Brazil) have gone 26 years without growth. Are you going to block us now? Resolve your crisis.’”

Lula did not say when his conversations with Brown and Bush took place.

Although Lula and Bush come from different sides of the political spectrum, they have a good relationship and have met often during their terms in office.

Lula also said he believed the credit crisis in the United States would not reach Brazil but it was necessary to be on guard for the effects of a possible recession there.
