Brazil has communicated the expulsion of the Argentine ambassador to Brasília, Daniel Raimondi, and decided against sending a Brazilian ambassador to Buenos Aires. The diplomatic escalation on Tuesday follows ongoing verbal insults by Argentine President Javier Milei directed at his Brazilian counterpart, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The measure significantly downgrades diplomatic relations between the two South American neighbors. The sources indicate that the suspension of normal ambassadorial representation will remain in effect while Milei's attacks against the Brazilian president continue.
