Brazil’s Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told Donald Trump to mind his own business after the US leader rushed to the defense of embattled former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is facing charges that he attempted a coup.

“This country has laws, rules and a boss called the Brazilian people,” Lula said during a Monday press conference in Rio de Janeiro. “Give your opinion on your life and not ours.”
