Brazil summons Argentina's envoy over Flávio Bolsonaro's border crossing

Brazil summoned Argentina's top diplomat in Brasilia on Friday for an urgent meeting over Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's border crossing into the US via Puerto Iguazú. The Lula administration seeks official explanations about his itinerary and migration controls. The Foreign Ministry requested technical data on the legislator's travel through Misiones province, aiming to determine if institutional assistance facilitated his departure. The meeting involved the highest-ranking Argentine official available, reflecting judicial concerns without escalating bilateral tensions. Argentina's Foreign Ministry received the request and began evaluating it through the National Migration Directorate. Brazil has not yet imposed punitive measures, with next steps depending on operational details and security force reports from Argentina.
