Brazil's Amorim: Milei broke diplomatic protocol, ties at worst point

noticias.uol.com.br (Portuguese) —

Brazil's top diplomat Celso Amorim said Argentina's government under President Javier Milei has broken the minimum protocol for diplomatic relations, marking the worst moment in bilateral history. He stated the downgraded diplomatic representation in both countries will not be reversed soon. Amorim said Brazil will not engage in public disputes with Milei, noting Argentina is the only South American country that has not congratulated President Lula. He confirmed Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira traveled to the G20 meeting in Atlanta without specific instructions on how to interact with Argentine and US counterparts. The crisis stems from Argentina's alleged involvement in Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's escape to the US and Milei's earlier comments calling Lula a prisoner. Amorim expressed concern over potential US military base in Argentina but stressed Brazil respects Argentine sovereignty.
