Brazil Summons Argentina Envoy After Bolsonaro Flees Through Buenos Aires

Brazil's government summoned Argentina's representative after defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro fled to the U.S. via Argentina, escalating tensions between the two nations. The foreign ministry sought explanations Thursday after Bolsonaro passed through Argentina en route to Miami. Argentine President Javier Milei, who backed Bolsonaro and hasn't acknowledged Lula's win, faces scrutiny as Bolsonaro faces corruption and money laundering investigations in Brazil. Relations have been strained since July when Milei insulted Brazilian officials, prompting both countries to recall ambassadors. Bolsonaro thanked Milei and U.S. President Donald Trump, who approved his visa and called Brazil's election "rigged."
