The G20 and the IMF (and almost certainly President Obama of the USA) are telling Argentina to take down its trade protection barriers so it can receive support from the world's big agencies. Dilma will tell/has told CFK that the '60 day' barrier is past its sell-by date. Car sales to Brasil can be turned off like a tap to make this happen - the last two months are the evidence.

Brasilian diplomacy applied “strategic patience” with Argentina until the presidential election, and now the gloves are off. Time for a real Argentinian diplomat/politician to stand up to the plate.

Also Timerman has served his time; time for him to return to ONGs and journalism - or to just retire gracefully.

No, O'G,
Sales of cars to Brasil have plummeted since September, as the financial controls Brasil has emplaced come into effect.

There is nothing in my posting other than voicing with others the recommendation to drop the trade barriers - which will, incidentally, benefit both Argentina and Brasil, and open up the *Mercosur* trading bloc dimension once more.
