NewzBrazil has formally downgraded its diplomatic relations with Argentina to the level of chargé d'affaires, a decision confirmed on Tuesday. As part of this shift, the Brazilian government has indefinitely postponed the return of its ambassador to Buenos Aires, Julio Glinternick Bitelli. The move follows a series of critical remarks made by Argentine President Javier Milei directed at Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
This diplomatic cooling marks a significant deterioration in the relationship between the two largest economies in Latin America. The tensions are underscored by the fact that the two heads of state have not held an official bilateral meeting since President Milei assumed office.
