Unexpected reunion could bring political tensions to a high-profile family celebration

September 13, 2025 – Former U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to attend the wedding of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s son, where reports suggest he may come face to face with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, often described as a Marxist leader.

A Politically Charged Guest List

The wedding, set to be a high-profile event with guests from political, entertainment, and business circles, has sparked speculation over an unlikely encounter between Trump and Lula. Both men have clashed ideologically, with Trump strongly opposing leftist leaders during his presidency and Lula being one of Latin America’s most prominent progressive figures.

RFK Jr.’s Surprising Guest Dynamics

RFK Jr., who has long cultivated relationships across the political spectrum, is said to have invited both Trump and Lula. Sources claim the move reflects Kennedy’s attempts to bridge divides and emphasize dialogue, though it could also create an awkward atmosphere during the family celebration.

Trump vs. Lula: History of Tensions

During Trump’s presidency, his administration was more aligned with Lula’s predecessor Jair Bolsonaro, who shared Trump’s populist, right-wing approach. Lula, on the other hand, has frequently criticized Trump’s policies, particularly regarding climate change and global alliances.

If the two leaders meet at the event, it would mark one of their first in-person interactions since Trump left office and Lula reclaimed Brazil’s presidency.

Will the Wedding Stay Peaceful?

While the wedding is intended to be a private and joyous occasion, political observers are already speculating on whether a Trump-Lula exchange could overshadow the event. For now, Kennedy’s family remains silent on the guest list, but anticipation is high as the date approaches.
