Lula Says Trump Didn't Discuss Brazil's PIX System in White House MeetingIn a press conference held in Washington, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva addressed the topic of Brazil's widely used PIX instant payment system. According to Lula, the subject did not come up during his nearly three-hour meeting with former U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House.
Lula noted that Donald Trump did not raise the issue of PIX during their discussions. The Brazilian president added a lighthearted comment, expressing his hope that one day the U.S. president might develop a similar instant payment system for the United States.
PIX, launched by Brazil's Central Bank in 2020, has become one of the most popular payment methods in the country, allowing for free, instant transfers between individuals and businesses 24/7. Its rapid adoption has drawn international attention as a model for modern digital payment infrastructure.
