Mercosur's two largest partners in their worst diplomatic crisis as Brazil recalls its envoy
Brazil on Sunday recalled its ambassador in Buenos Aires, Julio Bitelli, for consultations and summoned Argentina's ambassador in Brasília, Daniel Raimondi, to provide explanations at the Foreign Ministry, in the sharpest diplomatic response between the two countries in years.

Disclaimer & comment rulesI do not believe there will be any interference with trade between the two countries. Regarding future investments, however, there certainly will be.

On the other hand, as highlighted by the buzz on Brazilian social media, another visit like this one by Milei would guarantee Lula’s victory in the first round of the election, given the Brazilian people's blatant rejection of that imbecilic Argentine president.

I think -Yes to the frist one inclunding a tantrum to make it fair.
- Yes to the second one maybe it will be able to be understood when he says it.
- Tariffs, naturally but the percentage will depend on his advice from Eduardo and Milei.
- Invade Brasil The plans are in the machine already His problems are that his stockpile of missiles is running low and after the report came in from the Farnborough Airshow he has found that we stock, and manufacture, missiles (air to air) and drones of our own. Neither are fitted with the US made kill switch. This means he cannot turn them off.
This means that he will cry again.
“A spokesperson for the Brazilian foreign ministry said the ambassador was recalled “over President Milei's insults” at that event, where he referred to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva using terms such as “thief” and “convict” and disparaged a Supreme Federal Court justice.”
Jul 27th, 2026 - 04:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Having read the reports several times, I fail to see where Milei lied....
Brasshole,
“In my opinion, the Brazilian government should declare Milei *persona non grata* and ban the use of Brazilian airspace for any official travel by the Argentine government.”
Wow, I'm sure that your opinion/ suggestion has got Milei trembling in his boots...
“.......given the Brazilian people's blatant rejection of that imbecilic Argentine president.”
Speak for yourself and the ignorant, brainwashed left, not for all Brazilians.

Yeh right, you mean they get the rare earths and you get the pollution and environmental destruction.
I told you, they are called ‘rare earths’ for a reason, where you find them, it is aways in very low levels.
Which means you mine a shit load of ore, with the resultant pollution and environmental damage, for very little ‘rare earths’.
And the Chinese pocket the profit.
Way to go Braz, way to go!
