World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported16m ago
Argentine President Javier Milei used the social media platform X to call Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva a "thief and liar." This direct response came after the Brazilian leader made critical remarks regarding poverty and the alleged consumption of donkey meat in Argentina.
The exchange involving the Argentine president occurred within the context of a televised political debate in Brazil featuring President Lula and right-wing rival Flávio Bolsonaro. The debate took place on a Friday ahead of a Sunday runoff election, where the candidates clashed over proposals alongside addressing references to Milei's administration.
