BRASILIA (Reuters) -U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to visit the Amazon rainforest and meet Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva before they attend the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro in November, sources familiar with the negotiations told Reuters.

Biden would stop in Manaus, the Amazon's largest city, or in Belem, at the mouth of the Amazon River, on Nov. 16 or 17, after the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Lima, Peru, which Lula will also attend, the sources said.
