O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) ficou isolado na reunião ampliada do G7, realizada nesta semana na França. Enquanto lideranças mundiais trabalharam para resolver controvérsias com o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, e apoiar seu esforço para encerrar a guerra do Irã, Lula procurou o confronto e acabou tendo suas pautas ignoradas pelos demais participantes da cúpula.
Enquanto líderes do G7 e países convidados concentraram suas atenções em construir apoio para o acordo de paz com o Irã e dar suporte à defesa da Ucrânia contra a Rússia, Lula adotou um tom crítico à cúpula baseado no velho discurso da esquerda.
"Em nenhuma [cúpula do G7] conseguimos construir respostas coletivas e duradouras. Ficamos aprisionados em dogmas que defendem desregulamentação de mercados, Estado mínimo e austeridade fiscal como fins em si mesmos", disse o presidente brasileiro aos demais líderes.
Durante seus discursos, Lula também fez críticas indiretas a posições associadas ao governo Trump. Em uma das intervenções, o petista afirmou que o combate ao crime organizado transnacional não pode servir de justificativa para violações da soberania dos países. A declaração foi interpretada por analistas como um recado às pressões americanas por maior cooperação regional na área de segurança.
Para o estrategista internacional Cezar Roedel, doutor em Filosofia e mestre em Relações Internacionais, o presidente brasileiro apresentou uma agenda desconectada das prioridades que mobilizaram os líderes presentes no G7.
“Lula apresentou uma agenda completamente desconexa com as discussões da cúpula”, observou. Segundo Roedel, a diferença de enfoque revela uma política externa brasileira pouco alinhada às preocupações que hoje orientam as grandes potências.
A diferença de tom chamou atenção porque ocorreu em uma cúpula marcada pelo esforço de diversos líderes para preservar a cooperação com Washington sob o comando de Trump.
A analista política Yolanda Tolentino, especialista em cenário nacional e relações internacionais, também avalia que Lula efetivamente falou em direção oposta ao ambiente predominante da cúpula, marcado por esforços de acomodação à nova administração americana.
"O G7 de 2026 girou em torno da acomodação a Washington, com tentativas de exceção tarifária, alinhamento automático em segurança e ajuste à lógica transacional da Casa Branca por parte da maioria dos líderes presentes. Lula discursou na contramão disso", afirma.
Em seu discurso, Lula também cobrou maior financiamento climático e voltou a defender mudanças em organismos multilaterais. Essas pautas vêm perdendo força na agenda mundial desde que a Rússia invadiu a Ucrânia e Trump assumiu a presidência dos EUA.
O contraste ficou visível também nos momentos protocolares da cúpula. "A perspectiva do presidente brasileiro calcada em elementos desenvolvimentistas de assistência ou segurança social divergiu do tom do evento. O isolamento do presidente também ficou patente em coisas muito evidentes como o fato de o presidente americano não ter falado com ele. A própria posição em que Lula ficou na foto oficial, escanteado literalmente", observou o doutor em Ciência Política pela Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE) Elton Gomes.
O governo brasileiro rejeitou documentos discutidos durante a cúpula por considerar que o conteúdo refletia posições favoráveis à administração Trump, ampliando o contraste entre Brasília e os demais participantes do encontro.
Além disso, durante a foto oficial do encontro, Lula e Trump evitaram cumprimentos públicos, em meio às tensões acumuladas desde o retorno do republicano à Casa Branca. Ambos também deixam a França sem uma reunião formal para tratar sobre a ameaça de um novo tarifaço e a classificação de PCC e Comando Vermelho como organizações terroristas.

Lula rejeitou documentos apoiados pelos demais participantes do G7
O governo Lula decidiu não aderir a textos apoiados pelos países do G7 por considerar que os documentos continham formulações excessivamente alinhadas às posições defendidas por Donald Trump. Apenas três dos oito textos que estiveram na pauta da Cúpula tiveram a concordância do Brasil. Como convidado, e não membro pleno do G7, Lula não tem poder de alterar os documentos, por isso apenas endossa ou não os textos.
A divergência ocorreu em temas relacionados à segurança internacional, ao combate ao crime organizado transnacional e à governança global, áreas nas quais a diplomacia brasileira procurou preservar posições tradicionalmente associadas à defesa da soberania nacional e do multilateralismo.
A resistência brasileira reforçou a percepção de que o país ocupou uma posição distinta daquela adotada pela maioria dos participantes do encontro.
Para o estrategista internacional Cezar Roedel, o episódio ilustra o grau de desalinhamento da política externa brasileira em relação às prioridades que orientaram as discussões do G7.
