Brazil: Regime recalls ambassador to Argentina after Milei attacks Lula

Source: Reuters

“Brazil has recalled its ambassador to Buenos Aires after Argentine President Javier ​Milei used a trip to the country to ‌criticize its leaders and judiciary, two sources familiar with the matter said on Sunday. In his second visit to ​the country, Milei arrived in Brazil on ​Friday to throw his weight behind Senator Flavio ⁠Bolsonaro’s presidential run. The eldest son of ​former President Jair Bolsonaro on Saturday officially launched his ​bid to unseat Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who has been extending his lead ahead of ​October´s elections. … The two countries have a virtually non-existent diplomatic relationship. Milei has not sought an official meeting ⁠with Lula ​on either trip to ​Brazil, nor has the Brazilian leader shown any interest in hosting ​him.” (07/26/26)
