SAO PAULO, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Thursday he is likely to travel to Washington in the first week of March for a meeting with his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump.

Speaking in an interview with news outlet UOL, Lula said Brazil would be interested in being part of Trump's Board of Peace, provided discussions were limited to Gaza.
